Hand geometry based recognition system

Hand geometry is one of the biometrics used to find practical use across the real-world security related applications. A hand geometry based recognition system works by capturing the image of a hand to determine its geometry and metrics namely the finger length, width and other attributes. Hand image segmentation is an important step in any hand geometry based recognition system. Because, the accuracy of the identified feature will be detected using a segmented hand image and it is totally depend upon the quality and accuracy of the segmented hand image.
