Biometric Finger Vein Recognition Methods for Authentication

Abstract

Nowadays personal information security is an important issue. Number of valuable data and files are stored in server and moreover private data are shared in worldwide. To access the private information only by the authorized user is becoming indispensable. Biometric plays a big role in strong security and large attention in research field. The biometric characteristics like palm print, finger print, Iris, DNA, face detection, finger vein etc. are used. Now finger vein is leading technique now. The big advantages of finger vein pattern are lively detection, present under the skin, and cant possible to copy or stolen. Finger vein authentication base applications are widely used in Japan’s like bank, airport, person authentication, jail etc. This paper, we study comparatively the various techniques of finger vein identification or authentication. The main focus is comparative study of existing vein pattern acquisition methods, feature extraction techniques and its results.
