Extraction of Detailed Information from Palmprint

This master's thesis deals with obtaining information from palmprints. Its main goal is to extract information from the palmprint about the local orientation, frequency and width of the papillary lines, to detect principle lines and triradii and to track main lines, including the determination of the main line index. The result of this work is an application with a~graphical user interface, which, in addition to obtaining information from the palmprint, graphically displays this information, statistically processes it and enables its export. Testing and evaluation took place on a data set provided by the Department of Anthropology, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University in Brno, where detection of triradii achieved a success rate of 84.8 %, main line tracking reached success rate of 85.38 % and main line index determination reached success rate of 78 %
