Hand Geometry Identification System using Machine Vision

Authentication based on biometrics is being applied to control physical access to high-security facilities. Recently, with the recent rapid growth of information system technologies, applications for accessing databases or business workflow systems have begun to use biometrics such as hand geometry, palm, iris, fingerprint etc. As the integrity of data is important, We have to guarantee the integrity of the registered biometric data. This paper presents an identification-verification biometric system based on the combination of hand geometry features. The system is designed in NI Vision Assistant 2009. Such approach increased both detection and recognition efficiency of our palm and finger print biometrics system. The proposed system is reliable and user friendly as it is developed in Vision Assistant software. The availability of data log files in Vision Assistant and LabVIEW makes it one of the most useful component as a database.
