Definition

Palmprint matching is a comparison process of two given palmprint and returns either a dichotomy decision (yes or no) or a degree of similarity. Due to the rich features in a palm, including geometrical features (e.g., width, length, area etc. of a palm), principle lines, ridges, singular points, minutiae points, and texture, the matching algorithms require an intermediate palmprint representation to be extracted through a feature extraction stage. Based on these palmprint features, several approaches to palmprint matching have been devised and they can be broadly classified into two major categories: geometry-based matching and feature-based matching. The integration of two approaches can be done in hierarchical manner to improve the palmprint recognition systems in terms of performance and speed.

Introduction

In general, a palmprint recognition system consists of three components: (1) preprocessing, (2) feature extraction, and...
