scientists hope to find a way to identify child sex offenders from images of their hands.

Often, The Backs of the hands are the only visible features of the offender in the footage and images together online.

A new study aims to find out whether our hands are unique by the consideration of the physical differences between them.

the researchers are planning to do this by training the Computer to detect anatomical features in anonymous pictures sent by The Public .

This will enable algorithms to be developed, which will help to associate the police of suspected crimes, the only hope to take pictures of their hands, the scientists.

'step-change in science'

scientists from the universities of Lancaster and Dundee are now calling, More Than 5,000 "citizen scientists" to take part in their study, so there is enough data to prove without a doubt that our hands are unique.

Dr. Bryan Williams , a lecturer in biometrics and human identification at Lancaster University , said: "the tools we develop are reliable and robust to inform the decisions in criminal courts.

"they could also be used to support law enforcement authorities to analyze quickly and independently of hours of footage and thousands of offensive images. "
