Abstract

Based on the theory of fuzzy logic, the method of obfuscating coefficient and reliability to fuse the information of hand geometry and palm prints for identity discrimination is proposed. The experiment proves that the method is useful and effective. Its identification rate is up to 90%, which is 20%–30% higher than that of using hand geometry or palm prints singly, thus it can be widely used in highly demanded security field, such as finance, entrance guard, etc.
