Abstract :
The fusion of hand biometric traits has been a very active research topic since 2003. The first part of this paper presents a short summary of the technology on combining hand biometric traits. As the summary show a clear tendency on adding new hand based traits in order to increase the performance of the hand based biometric scheme, an experiment that combine hand geometry, palm print, finger texture and vein pattern of hand dorsum is presented.
