Abstract

Biometrics authentication is a growing field and attracted much attention. Biometric system such as finger, face, iris, ear, voice, DNA etc. is used for personal identification. Biometric recognition refers to the automatic recognition of individuals based on their physiological and/or behavioural characteristics.

Authentication based on vein pattern is an approach that uses the vast network of blood vessels that lie underneath a skin. Vein pattern are unique and also difficult to duplicate even twin has a unlike and unique vein structure. In this paper we proposed an approach to identify a person using palm vein images.
