Knuckle Biometrics for Human Identification

  • Conference paper
Image Processing and Communications Challenges 2

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 84))

Summary

In this paper we present human identification method based on knuckle biometrics also termed as FKP (finger-knuckle-print). Knuckle is a part of hand, and therefore, is easily accessible, invariant to emotions and other behavioral aspects (e.g. tiredness) and most importantly is rich in texture features which usually are very distinctive. The major contribution of this paper are texture-based knuckle features and their evaluation using IIT Delhi knuckle image database.
