Biometric recognition using the palm vein characteristics is emerging as a touchless and spoof‐resistant hand‐based means to identify individuals or to verify their identity. One of the open challenges in this field is the creation of fast and modality‐dependent feature extractors for recognition. This article investigates features using local texture description methods. The local binary pattern (LBP) operator as well as the local derivative pattern (LDP) operator and the fusion of the two are studied in order to create efficient descriptors for palm vein recognition by systematically adapting their parameters to fit palm vein structures. Results of experiments are reported on the CASIA multi‐spectral palm print image database V1.0 (CASIA database). It is found that the local texture patterns proposed in this study can be adapted to the vein description task for biometric recognition and that the LDP operator consistently outperforms the LBP operator in palm vein recognition.
