Designing a stand alone finger vein scanner

Finger vein scanner are a new biometric form currently being developed. Multiple commercial devices are already on the market, but their performance is not backed up by publicly available research. The University of Twente created a finger vein scanner for academic purposes. This reports details redesigning said system into an embedded system. By integrating the user interaction onto the device itself with the help of a touchscreen and a new Graphical User Interface. Alongside this, a new method of LED adjustment is tried for better image quality. The performance of the device is tested against the first version and was found to be great in speed, but the accuracy of the device was left to be desirable.
