  Biometrics which use of human physiological characteristics for identifying
an individual is now a widespread method of identification and authentication.
Biometric identification is a technology which uses several image processing
techniques and describes the general procedure for identification and
verification using feature extraction, storage and matching from the digitized
image of biometric characters such as Finger Print, Face, Iris or Palm Print.
The current paper uses palm print biometrics. Here we have presented an
identification approach using textural properties of palm print images. The
elegance of the method is that the conventional edge detection technique is
extended to suitably describe the texture features. In this technique all the
characteristics of the palm such as principal lines, edges and wrinkles are
considered with equal importance.
