PALM PRINT RECOGNITION AND AUTHENTICATION USING DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSSING TECHNIQUE Prof.V.R.Raut

Abstract — In ubiquitous network society, where individuals can easily access their information anytime and anywhere, people are also faced with the risk that others can easily access the same information anytime and anywhere. Now- a-days, passwords, personal identification numbers, etc are used as a means for security. But normally the PIN can be guessed and hence stolen. Passwords can also be hacked by software programs. Sometimes passwords containing special characters, capital letters etc are demanded which are bit complex to remember. Hence authentication using personal identification came to exist which is called Biometric. Biometric is something that we have and something we are. This paper presents biometric technique called palm print authentication which is more secure as compared to other techniques such as finger print, iris detection, face detection, voice detection, etc. As an important member of the biometric characteristics, palm print has merits such as robustness, user-friendliness, high accuracy and cost-effectiveness. Palm print has larger area as compared to finger print, it does not have hairs on it and palm print pattern is unique to every individual. The entire project goes with three basic steps like Pre-processing, feature extraction and feature matching
