Abstract

In many applications, people need reliable personal recognition systems to verify of identify an individual correctly. Hand recognition based on hand geometry is an effective and relatively easy way of personal recognition. In this research, a smart and simple algorithm is presented. The proposed algorithm uses hand geometry features for confirmation or determination purposes. The row data is processed and feature vectors are obtained. Finally, template matching is done. The system uses the right hands of the individuals. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been tested on about 1000 images and both the verification and identification performances are found to be very satisfactory giving the superior recognition rate.
