Ahmed Badawi · 2006
Abstract- The shape of the subcutaneous vascular tree of back of hand contains information that is capable of authenticating the identity of an individual. In this paper a hand vein verification system was prototyped and statistical performance measures were analyzed. In order to evaluate the system testing performance, a dataset of 500 persons of different ages above 16 and of different gender, each has 10 images per person was acquired at different intervals, 5 images for left hand and 5 images for right hand. Different Biometrics performance measures such as Efficiency, Sensitivity, Specificity, FAR, FRR, EER, and ROC were calculated. Maximum efficiency for the testing set was reported as 99.888 % at threshold equal 78. At this
