Definition

Palmprint features refer to the representation of palmprints which characterizes a palmprint in a stable and unique way such that it has good discriminating ability for personal identification. A palmprint identification system identifies an individual using palmprint features which may or may not be observable to the naked eye. The selection of palmprint features is a fundamental problem in reliable palmprint identification.

Introduction

Palmprint is the skin patterns of the inner surface of the human hand from the wrist to the root of the fingers. As a comparatively new biometric, palmprints are rich in physical characteristics of skin patterns such as lines, points, and textures, which provide stable and distinctive information sufficient for separating an individual from a large population. Compared with other biometric traits, the advantages of palmprint are user-friendliness, environment...
