\ Abstract: Biometric system uses technology of pattern recognition which makes identification by determining the authenticity of specific behavioral or physiological characteristics possessed by an individual. Human palm is used as biometric measure to identify an individual because of its unique, stable, distinct and multiple features such as principal lines, wrinkles, ridges, minutiae. Principal lines are the most stable lines of human palm and it is used in many recognition and identification techniques. In this paper we have an overview of different extraction methodologies used for principal line extraction. Also the complementary natures of different algorithms were discussed.
