Fingerprints or retina patterns are, very vulnerable. Ones fingerprints are accessible as soon as the person touches a surface While a high resolution camera easily captures the retina pattern. Vein patterns of either a palm of the hand or a single finger offer stable, unique and repeatable biometrics features.

Palm vein authentication technology consists of a small Palm vein contact less sensor. It absorbs near infrared light, from the integrated optical system, this makes it possible to take a snapshot of whats beneath the outer skin. The sensor reads your unique vein pattern A vein picture is taken and palm pattern is registered. The registered palm pattern is stored into the database along with the personal details of the client.

The captured hand-vein pattern is gray-scale and subject to noise Noise Reduction and Contrast Enhancement are crucial to ensure the quality. Three steps involved are: Binarization: transforming the gray-scale pattern into a black and white image.-using thresholding Skeletonization: reducing the width of lines to one pixel. Done in 8 steps with each step pealing in certain direction Isolated Pixel Removal: eliminating the unwanted isolated points. Through a template of isolated pixel removal

Fig. Endings & Bifurcations

Hand vein patterns has two main features: 1. Endings: It is the end point of a thinned line 2. Bifurcations: It is the junction point of three lines. MATCHING: Feature matching depends on the type, the location and the direction of endings and bifurcations.

It is important to point out the existence of false features Implies introduction of the step False Feature Elimination

The detection of bifurcations and endings can be carried out in parallel. The intermediate results are added together by a simple Logical OR operation. Ending points are easily extracted by applying the template of Ending Detection once Bifurcation Detection extracts all points that have at least 3 black pixels within the neighborhood.

The extracted bifurcations and endings are represented as single points. Only the location of every ending and bifurcation is obtained so far. In order to perform the procedure of Feature Matching, the direction of each feature needs to be known. The template of Figure Reconstruction takes the original image as input and the intermediate image (with the extracted feature) as initial output in order to reconstruct the feature to the limit that makes it comparable. The number of iterations determines the number of pixels that are restored of the three lines leaving a bifurcation and the only line leaving an ending.

There may be a chance that the palm we had registered may get damaged. During the time of registration we take the veins of both the hands so that if one gets damaged we can access through the second hand.
