IMAGE ANALYSIS OF PALM (PALMISTRY) (HEALTH AND CHARACTERISTICS)

Palmistry is defined as the study of lines and signs of the hands. In modern
palmistry there are three main aspects chiromancy, chirognomy and
dermatoglyphics. With the aid of image processing this project is mainly proposed
on developing software that can evaluate a palm and display the health and other
characteristics of its owner. The methodology used in this project is to compare a
person's palm data with the stored database. The features being evaluated in this
report are the shape of the hands, the shape of the fingers and the lines of the palm.
This report also explains the algorithm and the features of the software being
developed. This system can be considered as a step forward in modern hand
analysis to know person's health conditions and characteristics to some extent.
