Development of finger vein phantoms with realistic finger vein patterns

This report will cover a method to make phantom fingers with realistic finger veins. Just like real blood vessels, these veins can be detected under NIR light. These phantom fingers can help future extraction methods and finger vein scanners with their performance as the position of the veins is known unlike their real counterparts. It turns out that this method can also be used for spoofing as the performance of Miura max curvature together with ICP drops down if phantom fingers are introduced which represent a real finger.
