ABSTRACT

Using hand to perform person recognition is a very old technique used since prehistoric era. This paper proposes an overview of different methods used in hand biometric systems. Modalities offered by the hand that can be used instead of the classical fingerprint are presented, and advantages and drawbacks of each modality are highlighted. Different concepts and techniques of multibiometric hand systems, which combine different biometric traits to increase recognition rate, are also exposed. Finally, an accuracy comparison of different state-of-art methods is provided, and examples of commercialized multibiometric systems are introduced.
