Inner Knuckle Print Identification Using Artificial Neural Network

Abstract

A inner knuckle print identification system has been designed and developed. This work presents a new approach to authenticate people according to their finger textures. This proposed method consists of three stages. They are preprocessing, feature extraction and matching. In the first stage, noise is suppressed using an image filtering. In the second stage, features are extracted by local line binary pattern. Artificial neural network and support vector machine are used to provide an efficient matching algorithm for inner knuckle print authentication. After matching, the algorithm returns the best match for the given fingerprint parameters. The use of inner knuckle print in biometric identification has been the most widely used authentication system. A classification with an accuracy of 89% and 97% has been obtained by support vector machine and artificial neural network classifier.
