Vein Recognition Technology Vein
recognition is a type of biometrics that can be used to identify individuals based on the vein patterns in the human finger.
Vein ID System A type of biometrics
identification system that uses veins in a person's body to establish identity
use infrared light to scan the user's hand
to make an identification match
Prominence of biometric
technologies fingerprinting, facial
recognition, hand geometry, and iris recognition may leave little demand
unique features and advantages for other modalities
The up-and-coming biometric technologies include vein, DNA, ear, and body odor recognition
How does it work? By identifying the
subcutaneous Hand is placed on
a scanner Red blood cells
absorb the infrared rays
After the vein template is extracted
Compared with previously stored patterns
“Uses”
Variations of Vein Recognition Technology
It include finger vein, wrist vein, palm, and backhand vein recognition
The technology was commercialized in 2004.
The prominent companies are Fujitsu Limited Hitachi, Ltd., Techsphere Company Ltd.
Fujitsu’s product called PalmSecure scans the veins present under the palms,
Hitachi’s product scans veins present in the finger.
Techsphere’s product called VP-II scans, scan veins located on the wrists
“Some products scan veins located on the wrists as well.”
