Biometric System Design Based On Nailprint Recognition

Along with the development of technology, new problems emerge. One of these problems is the protection of information. Nowadays, many studies about the protection of information are done. Biometric systems are the most important ones among these studies. Biometric systems are, briefly, the systems which decides whether the Access to the system will be restrcted or not using the distinguishing characteristics of people. For example, every person has different fingerprints, and thanks to the fingerprint sensors of out cell phones, computers, and door entrances accessing problem is solved. However, the increase in the number of passwords means the increase in the level of security. This is why, variety in biometric systems provides an increase in the security. Our project is based on nailprints which are another distinguishing characteristics of people Five images were taken for each of the seven different person. Three images were taken to train the program, and two images were taken to test the program. These images were put through a proces of Segmentation, and the features of these images were extracted. A model which is able to compare possible nail images is create using the classification algorithm fort he extracted features.
