Multimodal Biometric Authentication System Based on Hand Features

In this paper we present a multimodal biometric authentication system based on features of the human hand. A new biometric approach to biometric authentication based on eigen-coefficients of palm, fingers between first and third phalanx, and finger tips, is described. The system was tested on a database containing 10 grey-level images of the left hand and 10 grey-level images of the right hand of 43 people. Preliminary experimental results showed high accuracy of the system in terms of the correct recognition rate (99.49 %) and the equal error rate (0.025 %).
