Inhouse Database of Finger-based Heart-signal
Heart-signal is an emerging biometric modality. We have constructed a database of heart-signal captured from fingers. The data was collected in two sessions from 112 individulas. In each sessions we collected two specimens for each individuals. Then we extracted biometric templates from each specimen [1, 2, 3 ,4]. Following figure shows four templates from each of two individuals.
