Automatic Palmprint Verification Study.

Abstract : A computer-based system has been created using 29 features of hand geometry to discriminate successfully 278 images of hands taken from 30 male and female subjects over a four-month period. These features include hand perimeter and area measures, finger lengths and widths, palm widths, and certain ratios of lengths and widths. A linear discriminant procedure was used to classify all images according to the subjects from which the images were taken. All images were correctly classified for 100% results. (Author)
