Human hand is a physiological biometric trait employed in order to characterize and identify an individual. It is considered as one of the most popular biometric technologies especially in forensic applications, due to its high users acceptance compared to other biometric technologies. In this paper, we propose a new hand biometric system for personal identity verification, combining two local features at matching score level. Indeed, these features are represented by SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) descriptors and geometrical measurements of the hand. Our experiments are evaluated using Bogazici University Hand database containing 1926 left hand images acquired from 642 subjects and showed promising results which are comparable with other approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
