3-D Hand Geometry Attendance System Based on Recognition System for User Authentication

Biometrics which can be used for identification of individuals based on their physical or behavioral characteristics has gained importance in today’s society where information security is essential. Hand geometry-based biometrics systems are gaining acceptance in low to medium security applications. Hand geometry-based identification systems utilize the geometric features of the hand like length and width of the fingers, diameter of the palm and the perimeter. The proposed system is a verification system which utilizes these hand geometry features for user authentication. This project introduces an inexpensive, powerful and easy to use hand geometry based biometric person authentication system. One of the novelties of this work comprises on the introduction of hand geometry’s related, position independent, feature extraction and identification which can be useful in problems related to image processing and pattern recognition.
