HANDPRINT RECOGNITION
making the system much easier to use. These kinds of device have never been made before, and if successful, will revolutionise skin recognition.
​
White light sources are used for fine detail of the palm, and near infrared for subsurface/vascular information. The system is capable of extracting very robust biometrics at a distance with minimal interaction.
Funded by UWE Bristol's Executive Vice Chancellor, a multi-spectral, high-resolution handprint scanner has been developed. White light sources are provided to visualise the palm's detail, and infared light is used for subsurface information. This scanning device used for handprints is on the brink of commercialisation.

Instead of fingerprint scanners to enter buildings (where you have to press your finger against the system), with our device, your hand doesn't have to come into contact with a pad,
