An accurate infrared hand geometry and vein pattern based authentication system

作者:

Highlights:

• An acquisition system is designed to simultaneously acquire palm dorsal vein and infrared (IR) hand geometry.

• A novel quality parameter is proposed for palm dorsal vein.

• A quality based variational approach is proposed for vein extraction that can handle hair, skin texture and variable width veins.

• Several IR hand features are extracted accurately even in absence of texture and consolidated.

• The proposed system exhibits better performance than state of the art systems and unimodal systems.
