Definitions

Unconstrained palmprint biometrics aims to automatically recognize the individual’s identity using the palmprint image captured under unconstrained conditions. Unconstrained means there are no mechanical structures to contact the palm and restrict the palm pose.

Background

Human palm contains patterns of principal lines, wrinkles, minutiae points, subcutaneous textures, and vein textures. So it can provide high-discriminative information for biometrics. Palmprint recognition can tell who you are by using the captured biometric information. Thus, this authentication method is easier to use than the keys and passwords. This technique could be used in many scenarios, such as access control, electronic payment, and daily attendance. The pipeline of palmprint recognition is shown in Fig. 1. The user put his palm in front of the device. When the sensor detects the palm is placed stable, the imaging system...
