Design of a Vein Based Personal Identification System

Abstract

A wide variety of real world systems require reliable personal recognition schemes to either confirm or determine the identity of an individual requesting their services. Biometric recognition scheme refers to the automatic recognition/identification of individuals based on their physiological and/or behavioral characteristics. We have proposed a Vein Based Personal Identification System (VBPIS), which overcomes the deficiencies usually found in commercially available biometric systems and provides incomparable security, usability, reliability, accuracy, and as well as user convenience. The proposed system uses Pattern Recognition, Image processing technique for extracting and manipulating the vein patterns, Encryption Technique to provide security to Vein pattern template and Data Compressing Technique in order to save memory space to store compressed vein pattern images. Reliability of this system is that it is quite difficult to cheat our finger vein system, which makes it more difficult to duplicate because our vein patterns are unique for each individual and permanent. It is relevance to security and can be used in computer systems, laptops, cellular phones, ATM, Man and machine diagnostics, person identification and industrial inspection.
