An Effective Method of a Person’s Character or using the Palm Print Images Dr. Hlaing Htake Khaung Tin Research and Development Department, University of Computer Studies, Yangon,

Abstract. The Palmistry with the meaning of palm reading and to shed light on personal issues like health, finances and or hand prediction is to learn a person’s personalities, family. A palmist can tell you about yourself in order to help fortune and future by analysing his/her hands. It is also you take control of your future. called Chiromancy. In fact, palmistry not only refers to the The digital computer can perceive the image from various reading of one’s hand or palm, it also includes the reading peripheral devices and analyse it. The techniques used to of arm, finger and fingernail. This system presents an provide perception to digital computer are called image application of digital image processing which can be useful processing. Instead of traditional face-to-face palm reading, this in palmistry domain to predict character of people or their palmistry prediction system is where the users submit their hand future life. Palmistry prediction system is developed based images and get the predictions immediately. Palm detection is on edge detection and recognition. Morphological also applied in different areas like personal identification and operation is also applied in this developed system. The authentication, Gesture Recognition, etc. system applies canny edge detection algorithm on the input images to identify certain features in the image and extract This system aims to study the image processing principal lines from image of human palm. The major line technologies, especially canny edge detection algorithm and to patterns in palmistry are summarized to become the learn characteristic of palm print. Palm print is one of the models for fortune telling through palm reading. By using relatively new physiological biometrics due to its stable and knowledge base of palmistry, it matches certain features in unique characteristics. The rich texture information of palm images and shows the predictions. print offers one of the powerful means in personal identification and verification.

I. INTRODUCTİON he palmistry has its roots in Indian, Chinese as T well as Roma fortune-telling. From the ancient remaining record of the frescoes in ruins of India and words passed down from Brahmanism, we can find palmistry was very popular in India at that time. In , palmistry also has a long history. Since the Zhou Dynasty which is about three thousand years ago, it has been prevailed. The first comparatively complete and systematic palmistry work in China appeared in Western Han Dynasty (202 BC - 9 AD) which was written by Xu Fu. Today, people attempt to use Palmistry to learn about their current life and what may be in their future. The human palm best reveals the story of the human life in the past, present and future. Many ancient civilizations study mankind through the Fig. 1. Definitions of palm lines and regions from scientists hands: their shape, their texture, and the lines within them. By reading one’s palm line, hand shape and size, finger length and Biometric palm print recognizes a person based on the flexibility, fingernail…, we can predict his character traits, principal lines, wrinkles and ridges on the surface of the palm. health, wealth, wisdom, career, marriage and many more These line structures are stable and remain unchanged aspects. throughout the life of an individual. The inner surface of the Palmistry is a science which observes human palm by normally contains three flexion creases, secondary creases and different aspects and derives conclusions about nature of the ridges. The flexion creases are also called principal lines and person. Palmistry is used to help give people direction in life secondary creases are called wrinkles. The flexion and the major secondary creases are formed between the 3rd and 5th

Although the three major flexions are genetically dependent, most of other creases are not [3]. Even identical twins have different palm prints. These non-genetically deterministic and complex patterns are very useful in personal identification. Human beings were interested in palm lines for fortune telling long time ago. Scientists know that palm lines are associated with some genetic diseases including Down syndrome, Aarskog syndrome, Cohen syndrome and fetal alcohol syndrome [4]. Scientists and fortunetellers name the lines and regions in palm differently shown in Fig.1 [5]. The rest of the paper is organized as follows: Section II describes major palm print lines and the proposed system is Fig. 2. Palm print features (heart line, head line, life line) shown in Section III. Finally, the conclusions are presented in Section IV. III. PROPOSED SYSTEM II. MAJOR PALMPRINT LINES This system is predicted by reading primary lines of palm image. The administrator constructs the palmistry prediction There may be breaks in them or they may be short, but at model by linking prediction with standard shapes of primary least three of them are there.

Figure 2 shows the palm print features the system. of the lines. 2.1 Heart Line The heart line, also known as the love line or mensal line, gives an indication about a person’s emotional state and their emotional and physical relationships with others. It can also be looked at as a predictor of the health of the heart. This line is located above the head line and life line. It starts either under the index finger or middle finger, and extends toward the pinky finger. 2.2 The Head Line The head line, also known as the wisdom line (considered one of the most important lines in Chinese palmistry), revels mental and psychological makeup and intellectual development and intuitive abilities. This line begins just above the life line, between the thumb and the index finger and runs across the palm toward the other edge of the palm horizontally. Sometimes the head line begins directly on the life line and Fig. 3. The system flow diagram of the future prediction by palm print extends out from there.

Classical Hough transform can locate regular curves like Wavy straight lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, etc. Generalized of serious relationships Hough transform can be used where a simple analytic description of feature is not possible.

The linear Hough transform algorithm uses a two- Broken line emotional trauma dimensional array, called an accumulator, to detect the existence of a line. The purpose of the technique is to find

imperfect instances of objects within a certain class of shapes by a voting procedure. Hough transform algorithm uses the Smaller lines crossing through emotional trauma normal form where each line is represented by a distance r (the heart line distance between the closest points of the line to the origin) and
