In this article we propose a novel biometric identification method for newborn babies using their palmprints. A new high resolution optical sensor was developed, which obtains images with enough ridge minutiae to uniquely identify the baby. The palm and footprint of 106 newborns were analysed, leading conclusion that palmprints yield more detailed then footprints. Fingerprint experts from Identifcation Institute Parana State performed two matching tests, resulting in correct rate 63.3%...
