Over the past few decades, hand-based multimodal biometrics systems have achieved
significant attention because of their high security, accuracy, and anti-counterfeiting. Various …

Touchless fingerprint recognition systems do not require contact of the finger with any
acquisition surface and thus provide an increased level of hygiene, usability, and user …

In the past few years, the research studies in image-based shape representation have been
proliferating due to its usefulness and importance for various application. This field has been …

The analysis of the shape and geometry of the human hand has long represented an
attractive field of research to address the needs of digital image forensics. Over recent years …

In certain cases, the only evidence to identify terrorists, who are seen in digital images or
videos is their hands' shapes, particularly, the victory sign as performed by many of them …

Most of the existing techniques for palmprint recognition rely on metrics, typically based on
static functions, which evaluate the distance between a pair of features. In this paper, we …

In recent years, Finger Textures (FTs) have attracted considerable attention as potential
biometric characteristics. They can provide robust recognition performance as they have …

Covering the face and all body parts, sometimes the only evidence to identify a person is
their hand geometry, and not the whole hand-only two fingers (the index and the middle …

In this work we created two hand image databases, usingmobile phone cameras and
webcams. Themajor goal of these databases is to build upon aperson's authentication …

Storing biometric templates and/or encryption keys, as adopted in traditional biometrics-
based authentication methods, has raised a matter of serious concern. To address such a …
