(Für diese Definition ist die deutsche Übersetzung noch nicht abgeschlossen)
Vascular imagers such as a finger vein scanner or palm vein scanner which use near infrared lights combined with a special camera to capture vein patterns.
Finger, palm or eye vessels sensors of all kinds.
Near infrared cameras used for making the vascular pattern visible.
Examples
Techniques involving acquisition of finger movements on a digitiser are classified in group G06F 3/041.
Recognition of fingerprints or palmprints within images or video | G06V 40/12 |
Recognition of faces within images or video | G06V 40/16 |
Recognition of eye characteristics within images or video, e.g. of the iris | G06V 40/18 |
Multimodal biometrics, e.g. combining information from different biometric modalities | G06V 40/70 |
Identification of persons | A61B 5/00 |
Fittings or systems for preventing or indicating unauthorised use or theft of vehicles | B60R 25/00 |
Digitisers as input arrangement for user-computer interaction, e.g. touch screens or touch pads | G06F 3/041 |
User authentication using biometric data for protecting computers, components thereof, programs or data against unauthorised activity | G06F 21/32 |
Checking-devices for individual entry or exit registers | G07C 9/00 |
Arrangements for secret or secure communications; Network security protocols | H04L 9/00 |
Means for preventing unauthorised calls from a telephone set | H04M 1/667 |
Scanners in general | H04N 1/00 |
Cameras in general | H04N 7/00 |
Techniques which combine fingerprint sensors and vein (vascular) sensors are classified in groups G06V 40/13 and G06V 40/145.
Acquisition of vascular patterns generally requires specialised hardware which is essentially different from normal cameras. For this reason, vascular sensors are not classified in the generic group G06V 10/10.
