Numerous behavioral or physiological biometric traits, including iris, signature, hand
geometry, speech, palm print, face, etc. have been used to discriminate individuals in a …

Increasing operational and security demands changed biometrics by shifting the focus from
single to multi-biometrics. Multi-biometrics are mandatory in the current context of large …

This paper investigates a new approach for personal authentication using fingerback
surface imaging. The texture pattern produced by the finger knuckle bending is highly …

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

Touchless fingerprint recognition systems do not require contact of the finger with any
acquisition surface and thus provide an increased level of hygiene, usability, and user …

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 personal authentication system that simultaneously exploits 2D
and 3D palmprint features. The objective of our work is to improve accuracy and robustness …

Over the past few decades, hand-based multimodal biometrics systems have achieved
significant attention because of their high security, accuracy, and anti-counterfeiting. Various …

The usage of finger knuckle images for personal identification has shown promising results
and generated lot of interest in biometrics. In this work, we investigate a new approach for …

To solve the problems associated with conventional 2-D fingerprint scanners such as skin
deformation and print smearing, in this paper we introduce a noncontact fingerprint scanner …
