Palmprint as a Biometric Identifier
Kasturika B. Ray, Rachita Misra · 2011
Image processing is widely used in many applications like medical imaging, industrial manufacturing, entertainment and security system. The size of image is very large. Biometrics which use of human physiological characteristics for identifying an individual, now a widespread method of identification and authentication, uses several image processing techniques. Biometric computing offers an effective approach to identify personal identity by using individual’s unique, reliable and stable behavioural characteristics. Biometric identification is a technology which describes the general procedure for identification and verification using feature extraction, storage and matching from the digitized image of biometric characters such as Finger Print, Face, Iris or Palm Print. In this paper we present a comparative study and analysis of some palm print feature extraction and identification methods.
