Security certification is drawing more and more attention in recent years; the biometric technology is used in a variety of different areas of security certification. In this paper, we propose a palm image recognition method to identify an individual for vehicular application; it uses palm image as a key for detecting the car owner. We used mobile phone cameras to take palm images and performed a new identification approach by using feature regularization of palm contour. After identification is confirmed, the phone uses Bluetooth/WiFi to connect the car to unlock it. In our evaluation, the experiments show that our approach is effective and feasible. 1. Introduction The car as a daily transport already has a history of 120 years; with the development of science and technology, the car has also experienced rapid changes which significantly improved human life. Automotive systems include vehicle monitoring systems, car GPS system, 3G car system, and in-car information systems. With the rapid development of automobile electronic technology, automotive intelligent technology is gradually applied. Automotive intelligent technology is making handling a car simpler, and driving safety is getting better and better. However, so far, the on-board system focused on the improvement of driving and riding experience, and there is no significant improvement in the antitheft. In fact, it has been one of the problems bothering people; it will be a major issue to ordinary people once a car is stolen. So we focused on the enhancement of a civilian vehicular lock by providing a new biometric technology. Throughout our journey of life, the recognition of personal identity is inseparable. However, the wide varieties of identifications have led to an inconvenience in real life, and there are often cases of forging others’ identity documents. In order to change this situation, to protect the property of people, we want to use the unique features of individuals as authentication approach, so we use a biometric technology to turn the biology characteristics into a secure password. Biometric technology is more and more concerned in a secure authentication in recent years [1]; it is used in a variety of different areas of authentication. In biometric technology, we must obtain a biometric as personal feature that does not change easily over time and that most people make use of. This paper hopes to identify a personal characteristic through the palm image recognition to increase the security of automotive protection as a supplement of the car key.
