Futuristic Biometrics

1 (Finger Vein technology)

??????
 Unique measurable characteristics of a human being that
can be used to automatically recognize an individual or
verify an individual identity.
 Used for security authentication.
A promising technology pattern for
personal identification in terms
of its security and convenience.

 Uses DSP platform.

 Takesonly about 0.8

seconds to verify
one input finger-
vein sample.
 VEIN RECOGNITION
 A system for
Identification
using a person’s
unique vein
patterns.
 Veins as a
biometrics tool
involve the
measurement
of the blood
vessels on the
back of your
palm or a single
finger of hand.

FEATURE EXTRACTION & MATCHING
 Lacunarity(referring to a measure of how patterns, especially 
fractals, fill space, where patterns having more or larger gaps generally have

)
higher lacunarity
 Quantify the denseness
 Spatial heterogeneity
 Matching (hamming distance)
• DATA SET:
 100 subjects (55% male and 45%female)
 Images from the forefinger, middle finger,
and ring finger.
Two types of errors
FALSE • which claims a
REJECTION genuine pair as
RATE(FRR) impostor

FALSE • which claims an

ACCEPTANC impostor pair
E RATE(FAR) as genuine
