Abstract

Recognition of persons based on biometric features is the most discussed question. This paper investigates a new approach how to recognize people using 3D hand geometry. Currently, the only systems available in the market are HandKey and HandPunch in different variations which use hand geometry as a feature for recognition. These systems use only two-dimensional contour of the hand, which limits the final number of users on hundreds. Therefore, we have decided to construct device based on three-dimensional hand recognition. This system uses the whole hand surface to gather the biometric properties. Projector is used as a source of structured light and CCD camera capture the image. Paper is focused on the hand reconstruction and feature extraction.
