This paper presents a novel approach for hand matching that achieves significantly
improved performance even in the presence of large hand pose variations. The proposed …

This paper presents a new approach for personal authentication using hand images. The
proposed method attempts to improve the performance of palmprint-based verification …

Several recent research efforts in the hand biometrics have focused on developing contact-
free personal identification system. However, the acquisition of images from the …

Two-dimensional (2-D) hand-geometry features carry limited discriminatory information and
therefore yield moderate performance when utilized for personal identification. This paper …

This paper investigates the performance of a bimodal biometric system using fusion of
shape and texture. We propose several new hand shape features that can be used to …

In this paper we present an overview of the fundamentals of personal authentication based
on handgeometry measurements and palmprint features. Unimodal and multimodal hand …

We provide a survey of hand biometric techniques in the literature and incorporate several
novel results of hand-based personal identification and verification. We compare several …

The potential of hand shape and hand texture-based biometry is investigated and algorithms
are developed. Feature extraction stage is preceded by meticulous registration of the …

This paper proposes a new bimodal biometric system using feature-level fusion of hand
shape and palm texture. The proposed combination is of significance since both the …

This paper presents a contactless hand based biometric identification system using
geometric and palm features. Hand images are acquired using two commercial webcams …
