Palm vein authentication is one of the modern biometric techniques, which employs the vein pattern in the human palm to verify the person. The merits of palm vein on classical biometric (e.g. fingerprint, iris, face) are a low risk of falsification, difficulty of duplicated and stability. In this research, a new method is proposed for personal verification based on palm vein features. In the pr...

Palm oil is the most widely traded vegetable oil globally, with demand projected to increase substantially in the future. Almost all oil palm grows in areas that were once tropical moist forests, some of them quite recently. The conversion to date, and future expansion, threatens biodiversity and increases greenhouse gas emissions. Today, consumer pressure is pushing companies toward deforestat...

Proximate composition and consumption constraints of edible forest insects was studied within ten months. Data on protein, lipid, carbohydrate, crude fibre moisture contents obtained by collecting insect’s samples from households in Akamkpa, Obubra Ogoja Cross River State taken to the laboratory analyzed. The data generated subjected different vigorous processes using approved methods. through ...

This paper presents a new approach to authenticate individuals using multiple biometric modalities. It deploys palm print and palm vein images for greater accuracy and flexibility. The contactless system uses a multispectral camera to capture the visible and Near Infrared Images (NIR) simultaneously. Subjects are allowed to place their hands freely below the camera. The Region of Interest (ROI)...

In this paper, we have proposed a system based on KL Transform to recognize different hand gestures. The system consists of five steps: skin filtering, palm cropping, edge detection, feature extraction, and classification. Firstly the hand is detected using skin filtering and palm cropping was performed to extract out only the palm portion of the hand. The extracted image was then processed usi...

The existing palm-print verification schemes have demonstrated good verification performance when identity claims have to be verified based on palm-print images of adequate quality (e.g., acquired in controlled illumination conditions, free from distortions caused by the pressure applied to the surface of the scanner, etc.). However, most of these schemes struggle with their verification perfor...

The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) is rapidly increasing all over the world. Consequently, there is an urgent need for more effective intervention strategies. Both animal and human studies indicate that lipid oversupply to skeletal muscle can result in insulin resistance, which is one of the characteristics of the MS. C57BL/6J mice were fed a low-fat (10 kcal%) palm oil diet or a hig...

Palm Vein Recognition (PVR) is a promising new biometric that has been applied successfully as a method of access control by many organizations that has even further potential in the field of forensics. The palm vein pattern has highly discriminative features that are difficult to forge because of its subcutaneous position in the palm. Despite considerable progress and a few practical issues, p...
