Abstract

A new algorithm for human recognition by hand-palm images is presented in this paper. The suggested approach is based on characteristics of the minimal eigenvalues obtained from Toeplitz matrices for image description. The recognition steps in the algorithm use both classical and new approaches. The achieved results are promising although of not very high rate of classification. The effectiveness of the recognition has achieved 100% in small classes and about 70% in large classes using the new trend of minimal eigenvalues. It reaches, however, a 100% rate of classification following the classical methods of comparison and classification for even bigger classes.
