A novel personal identification method based on the fusion of multi-finger knuckleprints is proposed in this paper. The identification process can be divided into the following stages: extracting and matching the knuckleprint's line feature, fusing of the matching scores of the multi-finger knucklerprints to get the total matching score and then certifying the identity of the user. The approach was tested on a database of 98 people (1,579 Knuckleprint images). The experimental results showed the effectiveness of the method: it improved the correct recognition rate to 96.62% which is more than 6 percentages higher than the best result of using a single finger knuckleprint.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
