๐Ÿ– What Part of the Palm Does a Palm Vein Scanner Actually Capture

Palm vein recognition is rapidly becoming the gold standard in biometric identification. Itโ€™s touchless, hygienic, highly secure โ€” and more accurate than face or fingerprint scans.

But what part of your hand does the scanner actually โ€œseeโ€?
And what happens if your fingers are injured or deformed? Letโ€™s explore the science behind the scan.


๐Ÿ“ Focused Zone: The Center of the Palm

At X-Telcom, our palm vein recognition algorithm doesnโ€™t require scanning your entire hand. Instead, it focuses on the center area of the palm, where the most stable vein patterns are located.

We use five core coordinate points for precise location alignment:
20 โ†’ 16 โ†’ 12 โ†’ 8 โ†’ 0

These act like anchors, helping the system determine whether itโ€™s looking at a human palm and not a spoofing object.

Even if your fingers are injured or you have calluses or cuts, as long as the palm center is intact, recognition still works perfectly.


๐Ÿง  RGB + IR Dual Mode: Why It Matters

Many palm scanners on the market rely only on infrared (IR) light to capture subdermal vein patterns.
While this can work for basic access control, itโ€™s not enough for financial security.

X-Telcomโ€™s Palm Vein Devices use both RGB and IR sensors:

  • ๐ŸŒˆ RGB (Red Green Blue) captures palm surface features (palmprint texture)
  • ๐ŸŒŒ IR (Infrared) captures vein structures beneath the skin

This dual-mode setup provides two independent biometric modalities that work together to detect liveness and enhance accuracy.


๐Ÿ” Ultra-Low Spoof Risk: Bank-Level Biometric Precision

Letโ€™s look at some real test data from our algorithm performance:

Biometric Mode FRR (False Reject Rate) @ FAR = 1 in 1,000,000
RGB (Palm Print) โœ… 1.002%
IR (Palm Vein) โœ… 1.52%

And when combined?

To falsely accept an imposter, both modes must fail at the same time.

That means:

1 in 100,000 (RGB) ร— 1 in 1,000,000 (IR) = 1 in 100,000,000,000

Thatโ€™s 1 in 100 billion โ€” making it one of the most secure biometric systems available today.
