Trends in Hand Geometry Biometrics

Researchers in the field of biometrics found that human hand contains some characteristics that can be used for personal identification. Some of these are hand geometry and hand shape. These biometric characteristics are more than 30 years old and are very popular and widely accepted among people. That makes them suitable for development of various acquisition and authentication methods. So far, many contact-based and contact-less systems have been developed in the academy and commercial sector. Contact-less biometrics is becoming more important in this field, thus making the researchers to concentrate their efforts in this direction.
