• launch_PalmSeg.m: main file
• ./params/params_Tongji_Contactless_Palmprint_Dataset.m: parameter file for the Tongji database
  (http://sse.tongji.edu.cn/linzhang/cr3dpalm/cr3dpalm.htm)

Required files:

• ./images/Tongji_Contactless_Palmprint_Dataset/: Database of images, with filenames in the format "NNNN_SSSS.ext", where NNNN is the 4-digit individual id, SSSS is the 4-digit sample id, and ext is the extension.
  For example: "0001_0001.bmp" is the first sample of the first individual. In the paper, left and right palms of the same person are considered as different individuals.
