Personal identification approaches using finger knuckle patterns are receiving increasing attention in the biometrics literature. Several approaches have been explored and these methods consider knuckle patterns as textured-like patterns, similar to the iris, and illustrate promising results. However much of the law-enforcement and forensic analysis for hand biometrics still relies on recovery ...

This paper describes the development of a knuckle walking mode of locomotion by a free-living yellow baboon (Papio cynocephalus). Some implications of this occurrence for theories of the evolution of knuckle walking are discussed.

Abstract Objectives This study examines the sensitivity of development dorsal metacarpal ridge (DMR) to frequency knuckle‐walking during ontogeny in chimpanzees, and compares prevalence prominence DMR hominoids baboons. Materials Methods We characterized type quadrupedalism wild chimpanzees different ages from Ngogo community, Uganda. Using museum specimens, we quantified third angle height Pan...

INTRODUCTION Secondary hyperparathyroidism in end-stage renal disease patients has protean musculoskeletal manifestations. Some of our dialysis patients spontaneously vocalized that they had lost the ability to crack their knuckles and then experienced gratifying restoration after surgical parathyroidectomy. We propose that the physiology and mechanical basis of knuckle cracking would be affect...

Biometric based human recognition is a most obvious method for automatically resolving personal identity with high reliability. In this paper we present a novel finger-knuckle-print ROI extraction algorithm. The basic Gabor filter is modified to Curvature Gabor Filter (CGF) to obtain central knuckle line and central knuckle point which are further used to extract FKP ROI image. Largest public F...

Knuckle biometrics is one of the current trends in biometric human identification which offers a reliable solution for verification. This paper analysis FKP recognition based on the behaviour of two different filtering and classification methods. Firstly, Gabor Filter Banks techniques are applied for finger knuckle print recognition and then the same database is analysed against Dual Tree Compl...

The main purpose of using biometrics is to avoid the risks related to password such as easy to find or Stoll. To make safe and authenticated access control it is true alternatives for passwords and identifiers. In contrast to existing methods, finger knuckle image authentication system employs a low resolution knuckle print images to achieve effective personal identification. In this paper, eff...
