Palm vein recognition is rapidly becoming the gold standard in biometric identification. It’s touchless, hygienic, highly secure — and more accurate than face or fingerprint scans.
But what part of your hand does the scanner actually “see”?
And what happens if your fingers are injured or deformed? Let’s explore the science behind the scan.
📍 Focused Zone: The Center of the Palm
At X-Telcom, our palm vein recognition algorithm doesn’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 → 16 → 12 → 8 → 0
These act like anchors, helping the system determine whether it’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.
🧠 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, it’s not enough for financial security.
X-Telcom’s Palm Vein Devices use both RGB and IR sensors:
- 🌈 RGB (Red Green Blue) captures palm surface features (palmprint texture)
- 🌌 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.
🔐 Ultra-Low Spoof Risk: Bank-Level Biometric Precision
Let’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) | ✅ 1.002% |
| IR (Palm Vein) | ✅ 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) × 1 in 1,000,000 (IR) = 1 in 100,000,000,000
That’s 1 in 100 billion — making it one of the most secure biometric systems available today.
