N2 - This paper proposes a person authentication system using second minor finger knuckles, i.e., metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, for door security. This system acquires finger knuckle patterns on MCP joints when a user takes hold of a door handle and recognizes a person using MCP joint patterns. The proposed system can be constructed by attaching a camera onto a door handle to capture MCP joints. Region of interest (ROI) images around each MCP joint can be extracted from only one still image, since all the MCP joints are located on the front face of the camera. Phase-based correspondence matching is used to calculate matching scores between ROIs to take into consideration deformation of ROIs caused by hand pose changes. Through a set of experiments, we demonstrate that the proposed system exhibits the efficient performance of MCP recognition and also show the potential possibilities of second minor finger knuckles for biometric recognition.
