Abstract--- Biometrics covers a variety of technologies in which unique identifiable attributes of people are used for identification and authentication. Palm print recognition system is widespread bio-metric authentication systems. A palm print is the feature pattern on the basis of their edges. Each person has his own palm prints with the permanent uniqueness. The common problem for palm print recognition is finding the minutiae by its local features and edges. Rotation and location invariant of the different palm prints images is also a major problem for recognizing the actual palm print image. There is need to overcome form these difficulties and to work over these areas. The given paper gives the comprehensive review of Palm Print recognition …show more content…

INTRODUCTION

Today’s Biometrics is playing a very important role for person recognition. A palm print has a great set of features such as principal lines, ridges and minutiae.

Biometric verification refers to an automatic verification of a person based on some specific biometric features derived from his/her physiological and/or behavioral characteristics. A palm print refers to an image acquired of the palm region of the hand. The biometric use of palm prints uses ridge patterns to identify an individual. It is rich in its features: principal lines, wrinkles, ridges, singular points and minutiae points.[1] Palmprint recognition is a complex task because the palmprints vary highly in terms of quality, size, shape, rotation and occlusion.[5] Biometric performance evaluation is an important task, particularly for palmprint identification, given its widespread …show more content…

It is an advanced and newly emerging method for palmprint recognition. It is useful to solve some intractable problems of the first approach .
• Feature extraction on the basis of principle lines: Any palm print have several principal lines in it, on the basis of these feature extraction is quiet useful for recognition and extraction of palm print recognition system.

In simple words, Palmprint recognition has been widely used in both forensic and civilian applications. Compared with other biometrics features, palmprint-based biometrics is the most proven technique and has the largest market shares.[10] Although palmprint recognition has been studied for many years and much progress has been made, the performance of even state-of-the-art matchers is still much lower than the expectations of people and theory estimation . Therefore, much effort is still needed to improve both the performance and the speed of palmprint recognition systems.
