Palm Vein Extraction and Matching For Personal Identification

Abstract

The most common method used for authentication is Textual passwords.But Textual passwords are in risk to eves dropping, dictionary attacks, social engineering and shoulder surfing.Biometric passwords are introduced as alternative techniques to textual passwords.Biometrics is used for human recognition which consists of authentication, verification and recognition.A CCD camera will capture the image and this image will process through various algorithms.In future this image will be compared for personal authentication.In this paper, three algorithms are proposed to extract the images taken by CCD camera.
