Fingerprint Image Preprocessing Based on Whole-Hand Image Captured by Digital Camera

Securing Mobile Cloud Using Finger Print Authentication

“…In [18], they present fingerprint image preprocessing approaches based on a whole-hand image captured by digital camera. This method starts with locating a key point location from the hand contour image.…”

Hand Biometrics in Mobile Devices

“…As presented in the literature review (Section 2), segmentation in hand biometrics was almost a trivial operation, since the background is completely uniform and different in color and intensity to hand texture Boreki & Zimmer (2005); Sanchez-Reillo et al (2000); Yu et al (2009). However, the acquisition procedure proposed within this document requires a more demanding segmentation procedure able to isolate entirely and precisely hand from background.…”

“…An aspect of relevance regards how the hand is acquired concerning not only the acquisition devices but also to what extent hand background is under control. Generally, CCD Cameras are the most common device to acquire hand images Covavisaruch & Prateepamornkul (2006);Sanchez-Reillo et al (2000); Yu et al (2009) providing with a wide variety of images resolutions depending on the camera. In addition, scanners are also considered as an adequate alternative to CCD devices Hashemi & Fatemizadeh (2005); Varchol et al (2008).…”
