Effective distribution of nutritional and healthcare aid for children, particularly infants and toddlers, in some of the least developed and most impoverished countries of the world, is a major problem due to the lack of reliable identification documents. Biometric authentication technology has been investigated to address child recognition in the absence of reliable ID documents. We present a mobile-based contactless palmprint recognition system, called Child Palm-ID, which meets the requirements of usability, hygiene, cost, and accuracy for child recognition. Using a contactless child palmprint database, Child-PalmDB1, consisting of 19,158 images from 1,020 unique palms (in the age range of 6 mos. to 48 mos.), we report a TAR=94.11 proposed Child Palm-ID system is also able to recognize adults, achieving a TAR=99.4 COEP contactless adult palmprint database, both @ FAR=0.1 are competitive with the SOTA provided by COTS systems. Despite these high accuracies, we show that the TAR for time-separated child-palmprints is only 78.1
