Knuckle Recognition for Human Identification

This paper is the continuation of our previous work - hereby we report new results proving the effectiveness of our knuckle recognition method based on texture features. We use Probabilistic Hough Transform and SURF features as well as the 3-step classification methodology. Hereby we present promising results achieved for recently published PolyU knuckle database.
