Abstract

Handprint, the friction ridge pattern on human hand, is of vital importance for recognizing repeat offenders and suspects in forensics. In this paper, we proposed a set of statistical models for the main features in whole handprints, including hand contour, major creases, and ridge patterns. Based on these statistical models, a handprint synthesis algorithm is proposed, which is useful for technology evaluation due to the lack of high resolution handprint databases in the public domain.
