Human identification using chest x-ray images

This paper proposes a new domain of human identification based on the classification of chest x-ray images. Like fingerprint, retina or face images have been used for human identification, the question whether chest x-ray images can provide valid, accurate and reliable information about the identity of an individual has not been investigated so far and is thus proposed here. Various approaches towards this goal have been listed by proposing luminance based and geometric based descriptors. Preliminary results using PCA and SVM have been listed on a couple of preprocessed techniques. The dataset consists of x-ray images of 50
