Abstract

Palm vein pattern recognition is one of the newest bometric techniques researched today. This paper presents a palm vein recognition system that uses blood vessel patterns as personal identifying factor. The vein information is hard to duplicate since veins are internal to the human body. The design details of the palm vein capture device are researched, and preprocessing and feature extraction of palm vein image are also investigated. A small palm vein image database is built by the proposed capture device. Experimental results on the small palm vein database show that the designed system achieves an acceptable level of performance.
