The invention relates to a method for carrying out identity 
authentication by utilizing double finger veins and finger-shape features, comprising the following steps of: firstly registering and storing 
vein features and information of finger-shape features of double fingers of a user; collecting, extracting and authenticating the 
vine features and the information of the finger-shape features of double fingers of a customer; respectively comparing the extracted double finger 
vein features and finger-shape features with the stored double finger 
vein features and information of the finger-shape features, and carrying out decision-
level fusion; collecting images of hand shapes and finger veins, establishing a rectangular coordinate 
system by taking an intersection point between the double fingers as an original point and determining a 
region of interest (ROI); and finally respectively extracting the vein features and the finger-shape features, comparing with the stored double finger veins and information of the finger-shape features, and carrying out decision-
level fusion. In the invention, two kinds of information of veins and finger shapes can be respectively extracted from one image and the two kinds of information are fused; and by introducing the coordinate 
system with the intersection point of the two fingers as the original point, the method provided by the invention not only improves the positioning precision, but also is convenient for users to use and effectively improves the 
system performance through double 
feature fusion.
