A survey on the finger knuckle prints biometrie

Biometrie security systems are now highly explored by many researchers for their high accuracy levels. These systems were recorded to be more reliable than traditional security systems that use typed passwords. Some biometric prints have been explored to be used in security systems. These prints include face, iris, voice, palm, finger print, knuckles print, handwriting, speech and keystroke. In this paper, a recent review is performed on the recognition algorithms used with knuckle prints which are formed at the joints either on the finger back surface or on the finger inner surface. The algorithms are classified and a comparison is presented between the performances of different recognition methods. The comparison includes using these methods on a single print and on multiple prints fused together, and whether the prints have been acquired using a contact or contactless device. The paper also presents a list of available datasets that can be used for performance evaluation.
