In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to biometric recognition especially hand-based multibiometric recognition system and their importance in critical domains like security and criminal investigation. Compared with the most traditional fingerprint identification, the knuckle print is more stable and not easy to hack. Indeed, the process of acquiring hand data is user-friendly, simple, cost-efficient, time-efficient and with rich information. In finger knuckle recognition domains, different CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) architectures have been applied, requiring a huge database. To deal with this problem, this thesis presented a Siamese network for identity verification using contactless knuckles of fingers modality.
