Finger Vein Recognition Using Minutiae Extraction and Curve Analysis

Komal Bansal, Supreet Kaur

Abstract: Vein pattern is the network of blood vessels beneath persons skin. Vein patterns are sufficiently different across individuals, and they are stable unaffected by ageing and no significant changed in adults by observing. It is believed that the patterns of blood vein are unique to every individual, even among twins. Finger vein authentication technology has several important features that set it apart from other forms of biometrics as a highly secure and convenient means of personal authentication. This paper presents a finger-vein image matching method based on minutiae extraction and curve analysis. This proposed system is implemented in MATLAB. Experimental results show that the proposed method performs well in improving finger-vein matching accuracy.
