Individuals Identification Using Finger Veins under a Multi-core Platform

Abstract

Nowadays, the individuals identification is a problem in many private company, but also in governmental and public order entities. Currently, there are multiple biometric methods, each with different advantages. A modern biometric method, which has several advantages, especially in terms of security against forgery, is finger vein identification. In the present work we have proposed and developed multi-core algorithms for the identification of people using finger veins, based on the SIFT displacement method, which currently has reached the highest efficiency performance in the state-of-the-art in the finger vein identification. The highest performance was reached with the hierarchical multi-core version, which uses two different type of threads, one is in charge of the query management and the second one in charge of the query processing with the database.
