A Low Cost Vein Detection System Using Near Infrared Radiation
ABSTRACT
Using infrared radiation for biometric applications is a very new and exciting
concept that promises to deliver high-end applications in numerous fields including
security and medicine. While a few devices have already been implemented, there is
a strong demand for a low cost multi-purpose infrared sensing device. Our research
has been focused on an easy to use, cost-effective vein pattern detection system
that uses near infrared radiation but the algorithms and the hardware lighting
and sensing head can successfully be used in various applications in the field of
forensics, human recognition or in medical applications.
