A palm vein recognition system is proposed in this paper. The efficiency of three convolutional neural network models (VGG16, VGG19 and AlexNet) in palm vein biometrics is compared and then this study proposes to fuse them with Decision-Level Fusion. These models employ the use of high number of filters during training which leads to very high computation time, therefore, the filters are reduced in this study to drastically reduce computation time while maintaining the efficiency of the models. The proposed method is tested on three datasets secured from FYO, PUT and VERA databases. The proposed system significantly increases the accuracy of the system in comparison with the individual models and achieves 99.06 %, 99.83 % and 99.26 % on FYO, PUT and VERA datasets, respectively.
