Abstract

It is well known that biometric information can provide convenient and reliable user authentication. Recently, the application field of biometric authentication is expanding from small-scale service to wide-scale one such as big event venue, theme park, and so on. In these situations, high-speed calculation and smooth operation are required because of a large number of users. In order to apply finger vein authentication to above services, walkthrough finger vein authentication system [1] has been studied. In our study, we propose a hand waving finger vein authentication system, in which a hand-waving movie is captured with a camera, and a biometric feature is obtained by synthesizing some finger vein patterns extracted from the movie. In this paper, we develop a prototype system of the hand-waving finger vein authentication and evaluate the verification performance of the proposed system.
