Is a fumigator a large, angry reptile?
Very early today, as I have to go out and don;t know when I'll be back. Something to do with "getting a life" apparently.

It probably, extremely dangerous to start thinking before lunch!
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Would a cross between an elephant and an alligator be called an irrigator?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Something stinks about this. Sounds like just another croc.

This is what I want...
- A human walks up to a place which requires previous approval to get in the building.
- The human claims to be Samuel SpecificGuy
- The human places his two hands on two pieces of glass
- Two scanners take a look at them
- Software compares these two scans with previous scans of his hands which are on file
- The software indicates the level of confidence that this really is Samuel SpecificGuy
This can't be a brand new idea. I mean, really; checking hand size to help guess if the guy is an impostor ? I've seen the same at least once, without a human; just software granting access to places with pretty important security restrictions.
I'm NOT talking about fingerprints !!! Just hand size.
I asked google and bing for something about hand scanners and I got a bunch of hits about bar code readers.
Could somebody provide me with a vocabulary lesson as to what I should ask, e.g., phrases that google or bing might understand ?

Try palm scanner?
Probably get a lot of results about palmprint scanning though.
|
|
|
|
|
How about a combined face palm scanner?
|
|
|

After a short search I've found something that can help you, I guess you'll be able to get the source code somehow:

Good luck!

I've designed and created something similar. Rather than putting the palm on glass panels I give authenticated users a device that is placed in the palm instead and the device grants the user the required access. I call it a "key".

With the first sentence you raised my hopes for the one scanner I always was waiting for. Imagine lowering your pants and sitting on the scanner until it has verified your identity, the whole time surrounded by security guards.
For some reason this always must be a lengthy and complicated procedure with bonus points for being embarrassing or involving being groped all over by strangers.

Facial recognition and gait analysis are sufficiently advanced that you should be able to verify Samuel Specificguy before he gets to the door using already installed security cameras.

I'm with DEJ facial existing recognition stuff alone should get you a reasonably high level of confidence for most requirements.
Bloody hell a local restaurant has the dammed thing set up so the waiter can greet you by name and knows you purchase history.

Why in the world would you want that? You may as well ask them to guess a number between 1 and 4. It will be just as accurate determining if it is the right person or not.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I don't think hand-size would be unique.
And how hard the person presses on the scanners would change readings too easily.
|

Google "hand size" scanner. Note the quotes. Several links down, you find this. Not related to security, and probably more than what you're looking for, but might give some guidance on other phrases to try, like "hand measurement."

Excellent ! Thank you Marc

What if Samuel had gotten stung by a bee on a finger one evening and the next morning that hand was swollen? That hand wouldn't match would it? Or some other injury to the hand causing it to swell.
