Abstract

Abstract: Palmprint is an important key player in biometric family and also informs some extra basic personality details of an individual. In this paper, we utilize these extra information and designed an automated mobile vision (MV) system to extract principal lines from human palm and analyze them for behavioral significances. Hence, the main concern of this paper is to come up with a simple yet powerful low-level MV solution to extract the complex challenging features from palmprint. In the proposed system, the computational tasks are offloaded to a dedicated palmistry server and efficiently minimizes the energy consumption of mobile device after performing some preliminary computational low-level tasks. The implementation is divided into four major phases: (i) hand-image acquisition and pre-processing, (ii) region-of-interest extraction from the palm images, (iii) post-processing to extract principal lines and (iv) features computation for behavior analysis. The basic palmistry uses line lengths, angles, curves and branches to identify a person's behavior. The exhaustive experiments show that the proposed system achieves an average accuracy of 96%, 92% and 84% for heart, life and head line detection and personality prediction, respectively. Finally, mapping the extracted results with the original palmprint is augmented back to the use for better visualization.
