Hand Authentication System Using Invariant Moment

Abstract

Hand authentication is one of an important biometric authentication technique. In this paper a method for verification is proposed depending on the features that exist in the hand which can easily extracted using the invariant moment. Hand shape can be used for authentication because of the two important properties uniqueness, and stability. From these two important characteristics it became easier to recognize one person from another depending on the features of each one. It is important to extract those features from the hand of a person by using one of the features extraction methods, where the invariant moment method was used to extract those features. Using these features an authentication system depending on a hand shape known as (HAS) was designed, implemented, and tested.Keywords: Biometric, Authentication, hand shape, computer security, personal authentication, and Invariant Moment.
