Parametrical Study of a Vascular Biometric System

In this paper, authors analyze the parameters of a vein pattern recognition system designed before and introduce some changes to improve the results obtained. This system is designed to be used with the user's hand or wrist, and the feature extraction is based on a minutiae extraction approach. The system has been tested with two different databases: one database acquired by authors (UC3M) and one semi-publicly accessible database (Singapore). Both databases will be used to analyze the algorithm parameters and to show the improvement of the performance achieved with the reference system.
