Pattern recognition

Biometric technologies vary in capability, performance, and reliability. One of the most promising emerging technologies, vein pattern recognition (VPR) is more accurate than many other biometric methods, offers greater resistance to spoofing, and focuses on people. Exploring privacy issues and the general concept of personal identity, this book delves into real-world biometrics applications and discusses the emergence of this reliable but underutilized technology. The author introduces the myriad applications of VPA technology and its current implementations, which include, among others, its widespread use in Japan in banking (in lieu of cards and PIN numbers) for accessing bank accounts.
