The lip as a biometric

In many cases human identification biometric systems are motivated by real-life criminal and forensic applications. One of the most interesting emerging method of human identification, which originates from the criminal and forensic practice, is human lips recognition. In this paper we consider lips shape and color features in order to determine human identity. We present standard and original geometrical parameters used in lips biometric system. Moreover Zernike and Hu moments as well as color features have been used. The presented results are yet not as good as these achieved in other known biometric systems. However, we believe that both lips biometrics as well as our approach and results, are worth to be presented to a wide research community.
