Abstract:

Partial-to-full  palmprint  matching  has  attracted the  experts  in  print  identification  area  and  researchers  in palmprint matching. An efficient partial palmprint identification approach can increase the efficiency of the criminal investigation process in Sri Lanka as well as in other countries. This research investigates the existing researches done so far in order to achieve the  challenges  and  limitations  in  palmprint  matching.    In  this paper,  the  design  of  a  segment  based  partial-to-full  palmprint identification approach is presented which consists of three main modules:  segment  identification,  hand  type  identification  and minutiae matching.
