A human being is a single being unique and unrepeatable-ELEEN CADDY

Automated system and computers simplified our life Need to provide security to the systems Use of passwords are the preferred method Sharing and theft are common Later introduction to the biometrics

Measurement of biological characteristics Identity verification Veins , fingerprints , iris pattern , face pattern voice pattern Fundamental properties of ideal biometrics: Security:-resistance to forgery , accuracy practicality:- speed , cost , size , enrolment , convenience

FINGERVEIN RECOGNITION
A new biometric method Utilizes finger vein pattern Unique for each finger and for each person Falsification extremely difficult

Meets anti-forgery by internal biometric Accuracy requirement is met Offers great convenience-insensitive to extraneous factors like dirt or grease Effective as finger vein pattern remains same through adult years Very fast No enrolment problems Cost effectiveness is excellent

Works by shining invisible infrared light via finger Hemoglobin in blood absorbs infrared light Result is image of unique pattern veins It is captured by sensor

 Capture of finger vein pattern: # sensor captures finger vein image and passes it to CPU memory Normalization of image: # normalized to accommodate geometric changes or angle of finger Feature pattern extraction from image: # distinctive features of finger vein pattern are extracted

# for eliminating variations in captured data. # result is standard finger vein template. Pattern matching and outcome decision. # captured finger vein template is matched against previously stored template. # if close match found ,user is authenticated.

FINGERVEIN :
Uses transmitted infrared rays High contrast images Capture of deeper vein patterns High tolerance to noise Easier to matching algorithm Median recognition attempt duration is 1.23s Median enrolment duration is 33.3s Finger vein devices are of small size

PALMVEIN :
Uses reflected infrared rays Reduced image contrast Penetrates only shallow way under the skin Susceptible to noise (dirt ,roughness of skin) Challenge to matching algorithm Median recognition attempt duration is 2.13s Median enrolment duration is 61.7 Palm vein devices are bulkier

PC login security Mobile phone login security Door entry control Bank security

High accuracy rate Fast authentication speed Unique and constant No enrolment problems Ease of feature extraction Resistant to criminal tapering Falsification is difficult

Only be used if the person is living.

Finger printing : exterior to body-falsification easy-sweaty finger prints cannot be registered. Iris scanning: direct application of light into the eyes, cause irritation. Face and voice recognition: impersonation is easy accuracy rate limited-low security.

Finger vein has inherent properties to perform in areas that matters both security and practicality. Proven with extensive applications in Japan. Quantitatively and qualitatively finger vein recognition superiors all other methods. Its potential of versatile reliable means of identification has positive implication in industry ,commerce ,government and law enforcement agencies.
