A Contactless Palmprint Recognition Algorithm for Mobile Phones
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mobile phones have become indispensable and powerful digital devices to use many services. To protect mobile devices and stored data, biometric authentication would play an important role. This paper proposes a contactless palmprint recognition algorithm for mobile phones which combines a hand segmentation algorithm using skin-color thresholding and region growing and a palmprint matching algorithm using phase-based correspondence matching with distortion correction. Experimental evaluation using palmprint image databases demonstrates efficient performance of the proposed algorithm compared with conventional algorithms. We also implement the proposed palmprint recognition algorithm on HTC Nexus One.
