Abstract
In this work, a method for biometric recognitionof ultrasound palmprint based on principal lines is proposedand experimentally evaluated. Volumetric images of a regionthe palm hand were acquired by moving a commercialultrasound probe over the region of interest. The obtained 3Dmatrix of voxels was then post elaborated to provide 2Drenderings of the palmprint at different skin depths. Therecognition procedure is based on the fusion of a couple of suchimages. A procedure for extracting main features from thefused image was then established and a preliminary databasecomposed by 81 sample from 27 volunteers was created. Bothverification and identification experiments were performed toevaluate system performances. Results have shown theeffectiveness of the fusion procedure. Further possibleimprovements of the method are finally highlighted anddiscussed.
