Hand recognition using texture histograms a proposed technique for image acquisition and recognition of the human palm

This paper presents a technique for biometric identification based on image acquisition of the palm of the human hand. A computer system called Palm Print Authentication System (PPAS) was implemented using the technique exposed, it identifies human hand palm by processing image data through texture identification and geometrical data by employing the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) method. The methodology proposed has four steps: image acquisition; image pre-processing (normalization), and segmentation for biometric extraction and hand recognition. The technique has been tested utilizing 50 different images and the tests have proven promising results, showing that the approach is not only robust but also quite efficient.
