Abstract: A new hand vein recognition method was presented based on Bandelet transformation. By this method, feature points in the vein image can be extracted by Bandelet transform, which form the feature vectors for token vein texture features. The similarity is obtained by calculating the correlation coefficient betweenthe feature vectors of tested sample and target sample. We tested the method using the sample database built up by self-made collection device and the experimental results were given.

Key words: biometric, hand vein recognition, Bandelet transformation
