Description

Synopsis :

              In this project, we propose a real-time embedded finger-vein recognition system for authentication on mobile devices. The system is implemented on an embedded platform and equipped with a novel finger-vein recognition algorithm. The proposed system consists of three hardware modules: image acquisition module, embedded main board, and human machine communication module. The structure diagram of the system  is  The image acquisition module is used to collect finger-vein images. The Embedded main board including the Microcontroller chip, memory (flash), and communication port is used to execute the finger-vein recognition algorithm and communicate with the peripheral device.

             Automated  teller  machines (ATMs) are well known devices typically used by individuals to carry out a variety of personal and business financial transactions and/or banking functions. ATMs have become very popular with the general public for their availability and general user friendliness. ATMs are now found in many locations having a regular or high volume of consumer traffic. For example, ATMs are typically found in restaurants, super markets, Convenience stores, malls, schools, gas stations, hotels, work locations, banking centers, airports , entertainment establishments, transportation facilities and a myriad of other locations. ATMs are typically available to consumers on a continuous basis such that consumers have the ability to carry out their ATM financial transactions and/or banking functions at any time of the day and on any day of the week.

Existing System :

             Existing ATMs are convenient and easy to use for most consumers. Existing ATMs typically provide instructions on an ATM display screen that are read by a user to provide for interactive operation of the ATM. Having read the display screen instructions, a user is able to use and operate the ATM via data and information entered on a keypad. However the drawback in the existing system is that the user should carry their ATM card without fail. But in many cases we forget it. So only we designed a system which helps us to use the ATM machine without the ATM card.

Proposed System :

• The finger-vein is a promising biometric pattern for personal identification in terms of its security and convenience.
• The vein is hidden inside the body and is mostly invisible to human eyes, so it is difficult to forge or steal.
• The non-invasive and contactless capture of finger-veins ensures both convenience and hygiene for the user, and is thus more acceptable
• The finger-vein pattern can only be taken from a live body. Therefore, it is a natural and convincing proof that the subject whose finger-vein is successfully captured is alive.
