introduction:
biometrics based personal identification is getting wide acceptance in the networked society,
replacing passwords and keys due to its reliability, uniqueness and the ever in-creasing demand of
security. common modalities being used are fingerprint and face but for face authentication
people are still working with the problem of pose and illumination invariance where as fingerprint
does not have a good psychological effect on the user because of its wide use in crime
investigations. if any biometric modality is to succeed in the future it should have the traits like
unique-ness, accuracy, richness, ease of acquisition, reliability and above all user acceptance.
palm print based personal identification is a new biometric modality which is getting wide
acceptance and has all the necessary traits to make it a part of our daily life. this paper
investigates the use of palm print for personal identification using combination of dif-ferment
wavelets.
development of image acquisition plat-form:
there are two types of systems available for capturing the palm print of individuals i.e., scanners
and the pegged systems [16], [17]. scanners are hygienically not safe whereas the pegged systems
cause considerable inconvenience to the user. hence both of these systems suffer from low user
acceptability. the attributes of ease of acquisition and hygienic safety are of paramount
importance for any biometric modality.
image registration:
our image registration approach follows the technique proposed in
