Concepts to recognize
Student discipline
Do not memorize this as a fixed prediction. Use it as a method: identify the factor, check condition, compare supporting layers, then write a useful answer.
What a usable photo needs
A usable palm photo should show an open palm, fingers up, wrist down, thumb visible, full palm centered, adequate light, and enough resolution to see the major creases. Decorative images, screenshots, documents, or cropped hands should be rejected.
Left and right validation
For a palm-facing photo, a right hand usually has the thumb on the viewer's left, while a left hand usually has the thumb on the viewer's right. But camera mirroring and rotation can confuse this, so the interface should let users rotate, center, and confirm.
Retake guidance
Retake suggested should always explain why.
- Palm not centered.
- Fingers or wrist cropped.
- Thumb side unclear.
- Image too dark or blown out.
- Blurred lines.
- Hand side mismatch.
- Not a palm image.
Confidence levels
If quality is strong, the reading can speak more directly. If quality is usable, the reading should be cautious. If quality is poor, the product should not generate a fake reading; it should ask for a better image.
