The document summarizes research on palm vein identification and authentication. It describes how palm vein patterns are unique biometric identifiers that can be used for personal identification. The document outlines the key steps in a palm vein recognition system, including image acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, and recognition. It also discusses the principles and technology behind palm vein authentication, how infrared light is used to capture vein patterns, and the advantages of using palm veins compared to other biometrics like fingerprints. Experimental results showed palm vein authentication achieved a false acceptance rate of 0.00008% and false rejection rate of 0.01%.
