Techniques which combine fingerprint sensors and vein (vascular) sensors are classified in groups G06V 40/13 and G06V 40/145.
Acquisition of fingerprint images generally requires specialised hardware which is essentially different from normal cameras. For this reason, fingerprint sensors are not classified in the generic group G06V 10/10.
