In the evolving landscape of biometric security, Palm Vein Recognition has emerged as one of the most secure and scalable authentication methods—outperforming facial and fingerprint systems in accuracy, liveness detection, and privacy protection.
At X-Telcom, we’ve engineered a complete hardware + algorithm solution to meet the most demanding enterprise, government, and financial use cases.
🔍 What Is Palm Vein Recognition?
Palm Vein Recognition captures both surface palm prints (via RGB) and subcutaneous vein patterns (via NIR/IR). These two modalities together create a dual biometric signature—making spoofing exponentially harder than with single-mode devices.
Key Terms:
- RGB Imaging: Captures visible-light surface features (palm print)
- IR/NIR Imaging: Captures near-infrared subdermal vein structures
- Dual-Mode Fusion: Our system uses RGB + IR for identity verification, improving both accuracy and liveness detection
🧠 How It Works (Cloud/Private Deployment)
-
Capture Stage
User presents palm to the scanner (e.g., XT-PalmVein 01 or XT-WavePass500)
RGB + IR cameras simultaneously collect palm image and vein map -
Feature Extraction
SDK on the device extracts unique biometric vectors from both RGB and IR inputs -
Secure Upload to Palm SDK Server
Features (not raw personal data) are encrypted and sent via HTTPS + SSL to a cloud or private algorithm server -
Biometric Matching
The server compares vectors against a large-scale SQL biometric database
If a match is found, a unique user ID is returned (no PII shared) -
Business System Binds Identity
Clients use this ID to associate users in their own database (e.g., DB2/MySQL) with business data like department, access rights, payment authority -
Feedback to Device
Business app confirms identity + permissions, then triggers physical actions (unlock, pay, verify, etc.)
🔐 Precision That Matters: 1 in 100 Billion
Most IR-only palm modules achieve around 1 in 1 million false accept rate (FAR).
But with X-Telcom’s dual-mode (RGB + IR) technology, here’s what we achieve:
| Modality | FRR @ FAR = 1e-6 |
|---|---|
| RGB Palm Print | ✅ 1.002% |
| IR Palm Vein | ✅ 1.52% |
Because both are independent:
Combined false accept rate = 1 in 100,000 × 1 in 1,000,000 = 1 in 100,000,000,000
That’s 1 in 100 billion.
This is true enterprise-grade accuracy.
💡 Why RGB + IR Is Critical
IR-only devices may be fine for access control or attendance—but not for secure payments or citizen ID.
X-Telcom’s RGB + IR design provides:
- ✅ Higher liveness detection
- ✅ Better spoof resistance
- ✅ QR code scanning support via RGB
- ✅ Image + feature vector dual-recording for accuracy
- ✅ Match speeds as fast as 0.35 seconds
- ✅ 99% success rate on a 5 million ID database
This isn’t just biometrics. It’s AI-powered trust at scale.
🧰 Products That Power This Technology
| Device | Description | OS Support |
|---|---|---|
| XT-WavePass500 | Android 11 Palm Vein Terminal with NFC | Android 11 |
| XT-PalmVein 01 | USB Palm Vein Reader (for kiosk, gates, terminals) | Windows / Linux / Android |
Both support:
- RGB + IR dual sensor
- AES-256 encrypted local storage
- MDM geo-lock (optional)
- Open SDK for integration
- Cloud or offline matching flexibility
🌍 Real-World Applications
- 💳 Biometric Palm Payments in retail or transport
- 🏥 Patient Verification in healthcare networks
- 🏛️ eKYC & National ID Registration
- 🚪 Secure Access Control with geo-fencing
- 📦 Self-Service Kiosks for telecom, finance, utilities
🧩 Bonus: RGB Camera = QR Code Capability
Thanks to the RGB sensor, X-Telcom’s Palm Vein Scanners also capture QR codes (3–20 cm range). Your application can:
- Combine Palm + QR for flexible workflows
- Avoid buying a second QR scanner module
- Support both ID and payment paths from one device
❗️Note: QR decoding must be handled via client software. RGB just supplies the image.
🛡️ Data Security, Always
- 🔐 Transmission: HTTPS + SSL encryption
- 🔐 Storage: AES-256 encrypted on write / decrypted on read
- ❌ No PII ever stored in our algorithm servers
- ✅ Full control remains with your business server
🗣 Final Word
Not all palm scanners are created equal.
Without RGB, it’s just a vein reader. Without IR, it’s just a camera.
To achieve the precision, safety, and scalability demanded by finance, government, and eKYC systems, the only choice is:
👉 True Palm Vein Recognition with Dual-Mode AI Matching
Let’s build secure identity systems that scale — together.
