Palm Vein Technology for Biometrics

Palm vein is one of the best biometric technique. The goal is to produce a software prototype that is capable of identifying a person by the vein structures of the hand. The near infrared techniques work on the principle that de-oxygenated blood within the human body absorbs near infrared radiations and the tissue surrounding the veins reflect it. Radon Transform and DCT were used to extract features and matching was done on the basis of Euclidian distance.
