INTRODUCTION
Palm vein technology is one of the upcoming technology.
It is the world’s first contactless personal identification system that uses the vein patterns in human palms to confirm a person’s identity.
It is highly secure and accurate.
The contact less feature gives it a hygienic advantage over other biometric authentication technologies.
It uses the vascular patterns of an individual’s palm as personal identification data.
ADVANTAGES
Hidden characteristics are used as biometric features.
It is difficult to forge for intruders.
It is not affected by dryness or roughness of skin or by physical injury on surface of the hand.
It has an FRR of 0.01% and FAR of less than 0.00008%. This is based on experiments conducted on 70,000 individuals in Japan.
This technology is non-intrusive.
DISADVANTAGES
There are numerous factors that can affect the quality of the captured image such as body temperature, humidity, heat radiation, nearness of vein to surface, camera calibration and focus.
It is still relatively expensive and not available for mass production yet.
CONCLUSION
Palm vein pattern recognition is a convenient and easy to use biometric technology with high security and accuracy level.
The technology is gaining momentum but it is still expensive and relatively untested because it has not yet been marketed globally.
