This book examines the context, motivation and current status of biometric systems based on the palmprint and hand geometry features. It covers new technologies in this rapidly evolving field and is one of the first comprehensive books on palmprint and hand geometry recognition systems. It discusses the research literature and the most relevant industrial applications of palmprint biometrics, including the low-cost solutions based on webcams. The book covers all phases required for individual authentication. The steps of biometric recognition are described in detail, including acquisition steps, algorithms, and evaluation procedures. Constraints and limitations of current palmprint recognition systems are analyzed and discussed. Advanced-level students studying biometrics and computer science will also find this material valuable as a secondary text book or reference. This book will provide a gateway to students working on different projects of biometric.
