A new approach for personal identification by using hand geometry biometric authentication

Abstract EN

It is well-known that the individual hand features themselves are not very descriptive and that hand geometry authentication has relatively high False Accept (FA) and False Reject (FR) rates.

Devising methods to combine these non-salient individual features to attain robust positive identification is a challenging pattern recognition problem in its own right.

Yet despite these error rates, hand recognition systems are surprisingly widespread, a testament to their user- friendliness.

This research suggests a new approach for personal identification by using Hand Geometry Biometric Authentication.

The aim is to get the length of the hand, the length of the four fingers and the width of the hand to.
