A Novel Palmprint Segmentation Technique
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Recent paradigm shift from the conventional contact based palmprint recognition to contactless based systems (CBS) has necessitated the development of a variety of these systems. A major challenge of these systems is it robustness to illumination variation in unconstrained environment, thus making segmentation difficult. In this paper, the acquired

Palmprint Recognition Using Principal Lines Characterization
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this paper, a novel contactless Palmprint recognition system using palm print principal line-based feature extraction technique has been proposed. The discriminative Palmprint features were extracted from a pre-processed acquired images using easily available and low cost camera. Distances from endpoints to endpoints and point of interception to
