Abstract

Palmprint recognition has been investigated over 10 years. During this period, many different problems related to palmprint recognition have been addressed. This paper provides an overview of current palmprint research, describing in particular capture devices, preprocessing, verification algorithms, palmprint-related fusion, algorithms especially designed for real-time palmprint identification in large databases and measures for protecting palmprint systems and users' privacy. Finally, some suggestion is offered.
