Abstract

Hand biometric systems and methods use digital fingerprints generated from images of at least a portion of hand. These systems and methods may perform various digital fingerprint related processes including induction (acquiring of the hand biometric data, generation of a digital fingerprint and storing in a database) and authentication (a process of using the digital fingerprint of the hand to perform biometrics which are known processes that may be performed using digital fingerprints, and may even be control anonymous access to controlled areas or vehicle. The hand biometric system and method combines these processes with a particular set of hardware to perform the hand biometrics process that is novel and provides benefits and capabilities not achievable by other existing biometric systems and methods.
