This paper proposes a novel algorithm for the automatic classiÿcation of low-resolution palmprints. First the principal lines of the palm are deÿned using their position and thickness. Then a set of directional line detectors is devised. After that we use these directional line detectors to extract the principal lines in terms of their characteristics and their deÿnitions in two steps: the potential beginnings ("line initials") of the principal lines are extracted and then, based on these line initials, a recursive process is applied to extract the principal lines in their entirety. Finally palmprints are classiÿed into six categories according to the number of the principal lines and the number of their intersections. The proportions of these six categories (1-6) in our database containing 13,800 samples are 0.36%, 1.23%, 2.83%, 11.81%, 78.12% and 5.65%, respectively. The proposed algorithm has been shown to classify palmprints with an accuracy of 96.03%.
