Features: Identity recognition is one of the basic methods to enhance the security of information and systems. Traditional identity recognition technologies have many shortcomings, such as inconvenience, insecurity, and unreliability, while biometric recognition technology is an effective way to overcome these shortcomings. As an emerging biometric technology, palmprint recognition offers advantages such as high accuracy, fast speed, low cost, and easy user acceptance, making it have very broad application prospects. As an academic monograph on palmprint recognition technology in China, this book summarizes in detail some of the authors' research achievements in recent years. The book consists of 9 chapters, mainly including the following content: basic knowledge of biometric technology, research and development of palmprint recognition, acquisition of palmprint images, databases, and preprocessing techniques, extraction and matching of various palmprint image features (including wavelet energy, fuzzy directional energy, palmprint line structure, Fisher palms, and phase orientation features, etc.), and palmprint classification. This book can serve as a research reference for senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers in related fields such as computer science and technology, electronic engineering, systems science, and information technology. It can also be used as a supplementary textbook for relevant courses. Additionally, this book can serve as a reference for research and development personnel and engineering technicians in security systems, biometric systems, immigration management systems, criminal investigation systems, image processing and pattern recognition systems, and other fields.
