What is Palm Scanning Technology?

Palm scanning typically refers to "palm vein recognition" - a sophisticated biometric technology that captures internal vein patterns for secure identification

Palm Vein Recognition Technology

Palm vein recognition uses near-infrared imaging to capture the unique vein distribution patterns inside the palm. The system creates a digital template from these internal vascular structures and uses it for highly accurate biometric comparison and identification.

Palm Vein Scanning Technology in BioWavePass

RGB Imaging (Surface Layer)

  • Captures the visible palm texture, lines, and shape to help with positioning, anti-spoofing, and overall image quality.
  • FRR@FAR: 1.002%@1e-6

Infrared Vein Imaging (Sub-Surface Layer)

  • Detects the unique palm vein pattern beneath the skin, which cannot be seen by the human eye and is extremely difficult to replicate.
  • FRR@FAR: 1.52%@1e-6

Dual-Mode Fusion (RGB + IR)

  • Combines surface and sub-surface biometric features to improve accuracy, speed, and stability across different lighting and usage environments, ensuring secure and reliable authentication.
  • Combined FRR@FAR: one in a hundred billion

How It Works- Palm Vein Scanning Technology Process

Understanding the deployment logic and technical workflow for procurement and project managers

1

Hand Positioning

The user places their palm above the scanner. The RGB camera assists with accurate positioning and captures the visible palm surface to support anti-spoofing.

2

Vein Pattern Capture (Infrared Imaging)

An infrared sensor scans beneath the skin to detect the unique palm vein pattern formed by deoxygenated blood absorbing infrared light.

3

Feature Extraction

The system converts the captured palm vein image into encrypted biometric feature data. Only mathematical feature points are used for identity matching.

4

Matching and Verification

The live feature data is compared with the enrolled template to confirm identity with high accuracy and fast response time.

5

Secure Storage

All palm vein data is AES-256 encrypted and stored only on the customer’s servers. BioWavePass does not manage any data. Transmission is SSL secured, and cloud storage uses AES-256 CBC with encryption on write and decryption on read.

Why Choose Palm Vein Scanning Technology

Transform security with measurable advantages that deliver real business value and procurement confidence

High Security and Accuracy

Palm vein patterns are internal to the human body and invisible to the naked eye, making them extremely difficult to copy or forge. Dual-mode RGB + IR imaging further enhances matching accuracy and reliability.

Contactless and Hygienic

Users simply hold their hand above the device without physical contact. This enables clean, comfortable, and touch-free authentication, ideal for healthcare, banking, retail, and public environments.

Stable and Consistent

Palm vein patterns remain stable throughout a person’s lifetime and are far less affected by surface conditions such as dirt, dryness, sweat, or minor skin damage.

Fast User Experience

Advanced image processing and AI-based matching deliver rapid identity verification while maintaining extremely low false acceptance and false rejection rates.

Privacy and Data Protection

All palm vein data is AES-256 encrypted and stored only on the customer’s servers. BioWavePass does not manage any data. Transmission is SSL secured, and cloud storage uses AES-256 CBC with encryption on write and decryption on read.

Device-Free and Effortless Authentication

No phone, passwords, or physical cards are required. Users simply wave their palm to verify their e-wallet or ID, enabling a seamless, secure, and contactless experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about palm vein scanning technology, implementation, and our solutions.

1. What is palm vein recognition technology?
Palm vein recognition uses infrared light to capture the unique vein pattern beneath the skin of your palm. Palm vein recognition uses infrared (IR) light to capture the unique vein pattern beneath the skin of your palm. Since these patterns are internal and invisible to the naked eye, they are highly secure and extremely difficult to replicate.

BioWavePass Palm Vein scanning technology goes beyond traditional IR-only systems. It supports both IR and RGB imaging at the same time, capturing internal vein patterns together with external palm features. By combining IR vein data with RGB surface features, the system builds richer biometric data, improving recognition accuracy, speed, and resistance to spoofing in large-scale databases.
2. How does the RGB + IR dual-mode system work? +
The RGB camera captures the visible palm surface to support accurate hand positioning and anti-spoofing, while the infrared sensor scans the internal vein structure. Fusing both data sources significantly improves recognition accuracy, speed, and stability in real-world usage environments.
3. Is palm vein scanning contactless? +
Yes. Users simply hold their hand above the device without physical contact. This makes the authentication process hygienic, comfortable, and especially suitable for healthcare, banking, transportation, and public access environments.
4. How secure is palm vein data? +
All palm vein data is AES-256 encrypted and stored only on the customer’s servers. BioWavePass does not manage any data. Transmission is SSL secured, and cloud storage uses AES-256 CBC with encryption on write and decryption on read.
5. What happens if my hand is dry, dirty, or slightly injured? +
Palm vein recognition relies on internal blood vessel patterns rather than surface characteristics. As a result, it is far less affected by dryness, dirt, moisture, or minor skin injuries, delivering more stable and reliable performance compared to fingerprint-based biometric technologies.
