Covering the face and all body parts, sometimes the only evidence to identify a person is
their hand geometry, and not the whole hand-only two fingers (the index and the middle …

This paper presents a hand biometric system for contact-less, platform-free scenarios,

The present work proposes a novel probabilistic method to reconstruct a hand shape image
from its template. We analyse the degree of similarity between the reconstructed images and …

Biometry is a technology which is based on the personal identification using their physical
features (fingerprint, hand geometry, palmprint) and/or behavioral features (voice, dynamic …
