Abstract

the widespread success of various biometric recognition systems has contributed to extensive exploration of new biometric modalities, expanding upon traditional fingerprint metrics. Finger-vein is one of the latest biometric traits that has attracted researchers because it promises to be an effective and reliable modality for implementation in biometric authentication systems. In this paper, a review of the current literature on finger-vein biometric authentication is given with the objective of finding out what features, classifiers, and methodologies are utilized by researchers in implemented systems. We find that vein pattern is the most widely used feature for finger-vein recognition. Also, in terms of usage, the hamming distance and Euclidean distance dominate as preferences over other finger-vein classifiers. Furthermore, in previous research in the finger vein authentication systems, there is a lack of comprehensive extraction and combined testing of all finger vein features. Based on this, we will develop the new finger vein authentication systems.
