VeinPLUS: A Transillumination and Reflection-based Hand Vein Database
This work provides a domain-specific dataset for biometrics and medical imaging research, but it is incremental as it adds to existing hand vein databases without solving a broader problem.
The paper introduces VeinPLUS, a new hand vein database created using transillumination and reflection-based acquisition, and describes its properties, comparison to existing databases, and ROI extraction process with sample images.
This paper gives a short summary of work related to the creation of a department-hosted hand vein database. After the introducing section, special properties of the hand vein acquisition are explained, followed by a comparison table, which shows key differences to existing well-known hand vein databases. At the end, the ROI extraction process is described and sample images and ROIs are presented.
