Fujitsu Develops High-Speed Image-Capture Technology for Palm Vein Biometric Authentication

Fujitsu Palm Vein Biometric 1

Fujitsu had announced the newly development of the world’s first imaging technology for use in palm vein biometric authentication that can operate while the palm is in motion. A person palm needs only to be passed over a sensor for authentication and the device requires approximately only one millisecond to capture the image of your palm vein. You do not need to stay still to wait for the device to capture your palm vein image, Fujitsu Laboratories has confirmed that these new imaging techniques can capture images of palm vein patterns even while the hand is in motion.

With this new feature, it is possible to authenticate an individual’s identity using palm vein authentication with the same ease as of the pic shown above, for example, gliding non-contact smartcards over a train-station turnstile gate, a widely-deployed technology for commuters in Japan. This new technology will make it easier to deploy easy-to-use and highly-precise palm vein authentication systems in a wide range of venues that require reliable and convenient security systems, including corporations, government offices, and hospitals.
