Abstract
Due to significant challenges faced by traditional methods of personal identification like fingerprinting, eye scanning, and voice recognition, new techniques are needed. One such approach involves the use of human nail images for identification and access to personal identification programs and electronic patient files. A novel algorithm, which consists of three stages, has been proposed utilizing the HSV color space detection algorithm, grayscale contrast optimization algorithm, nail segmentation, and image smoothing with a Gaussian filter. This method reduces tested image data and preserves the primary image structure, and has the potential to surpass the accuracy of traditional methods, providing an additional layer of security in personal identification programs and electronic patient files. Nail image detection can be conducted remotely and accessed through standard cameras or smartphones, making it a more hygienic and convenient option than physical contact methods such as fingerprinting or eye scanning. Moreover, the use of nail images for personal identification has several other benefits, especially in situations where traditional methods are not feasible, such as in individuals with skin conditions that prevent fingerprinting. The success of the proposed algorithm in detecting nail images for personal identification has implications beyond individual security and can be applied in different fields, including healthcare and forensic science, to improve identification accuracy and prevent fraud. For example, the use of nail images could help prevent identity theft in healthcare settings, where sensitive information is stored and exchanged.
