Hand geometry is a biometric that identifies users from the shape of their hands. Hand geometry readers measure a user's palm and fingers along many dimensions including length, width, deviation, and angle and compare those measurements to measurements stored in a file.

Hand geometry systems use a. camera to capture a silhouette image of the hand (Figure 2). palm down, and guided by five pegs that sense when the hand is in place. The resulting data capture by...

Jun 22, 2012 · Hand geometry systems use a camera to capture a silhouette image of the hand. The hand of the subject is placed on the plate, palm down, and guided by five pegs that sense when the hand is in place.

Nov 28, 2012 · Researchers in the field of biometrics found that human hand, especially human palm, contains some characteristics that can be used for personal identification. These characteristics mainly include thickness of the palm area …

The palm is an obsolete anthropic unit of length, originally based on the width of the human palm and then variously standardized. The same name is also used for a second, rather larger unit based on the length of the human hand.

The areas of the palm are: lower palm, middle palm, upper palm, thenar (thumb part) and hypothenar (little finger part). The location of these areas can be seen in Figure 1.

Hand geometry used in this research consists of the lengths and widths of fingers and the width of a palm. Users can place their hands freely without the need for pegs to fix the hand placement.

Experimental determination of human palm geometry was undertaken using measurements of hands of 14 subjects drawn from a mixture of racial and gender backgrounds. By also analysing scanned images of their hands, characteristic measurements of their palms were determined.
