Biometric Systems Based on Palm Vein Patterns

Abstract

The work covers issues related to the design of biometric systems based on the hand vascular pattern. The study includes analysis of various stages of biometric systems design ranging from acquisition, feature extraction and biometric pattern creation for verification methods. The extraction methods based on two-dimensional density function and the extraction of the characteristic points – minutiae are presented. The article features the results of tests carried out on two different bases of blood vessels in a hand.
