Abstract:
Near infrared radiation has been successfully used in scanning vein patterns for biometric applications. While the method has been proven as highly reliable, few studies have been conducted using medium or far infrared radiation to assess the viability of a biometric scanning technique based on different wavelengths. With the constant decrease in prices for thermographic devices, the goal of this research was to determine if far infrared radiation is suitable for vein detection and to develop techniques for image processing and parameter extraction. Efforts have been made to integrate both methods (near and far infrared) in order to unify the data processing algorithms for real acquisitions and to provide enough information for performing visual reconstruction of blood vessels in simulation and database generating applications.
