ABSTRACT

Palm Vein Recognition is one among the biometric authentication methods. It works by recognizing the unique patterns of veins in the palms of the people. In palm vein recognition, the near-infrared light is illuminated into the palm emitted by the palm scanner. This near-infrared light is absorbed by the deoxygenated blood flowing through the veins which reduces its ability to reflect back the light. This causes the veins to appear as black patterns and is captured as an image by the scanner. These images are processed using various algorithms and compared with the data in the database and authenticates the individuals.
