ABSTRACT: The palm vein
authentication technology is extremely safe, accurate and reliable as it uses the
vascular patterns contained
within the body to confirm personal identification. The pattern of veins in the palm is complex and
unique to each individual. Its non-contact function gives it a healthful
advantage over other biometric technologies. This paper presents an algebraic
method for personal authentication and identification using internal
contactless palm vein images. We use MATLAB image processing toolbox to enhance
the palm vein images and employ coset decomposition concept to store and
identify the encoded palm vein feature vectors. Experimental evidence shows the
validation and influence of the proposed approach.
