This paper reports the design, implementation, and evaluation of a research work for developing an automatic person identification system using hand signatures biometric. The developed automatic person identification system mainly used toolboxes provided by MATLAB environment.. In order to train and test the developed automatic person identification system, an in-house hand signatures database is created, which contains hand signatures of 100 persons (50 males and 50 females) each of which is repeated 30 times. Therefore, a total of 3000 hand signatures are collected. The collected hand signatures have gone through pre-processing steps such as producing a digitized version of the signatures using a scanner, converting input images type to a standard binary images type, cropping, normalizing images size, and reshaping in order to produce a ready-to-use hand signatures database for training and …
