FYO: Multimodal Vein Database with Palmar, Dorsal and Wrist Biometrics

The FYO Multimodal Vein Database is intended for research on multimodal biometrics based on dorsal, palmar and wrist vein patterns. The database is open access to researchers upon request as described below. The vein patterns were acquired in Computer Engineering Department laboratories of Eastern Mediterranean University from volunteers by the researchers PhD Reasearch Assistant Felix Babalola, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Yıltan Bitirim and Prof.Dr.Önsen Toygar.

The images of the database are acquired using a low cost medical vein finder device equipped with 1/3 inch infrared CMOS camera rounded with 12 pieces of infrared LED light sources. The hardware setup for vein acquisition system is shown in the following figure. Note that three separate hand guides were used to capture images from the dorsal, palmar and wrist parts of the body.

There are overall 1920 images from 160 subjects. From each subject, the following images are acquired:
    • 2 left-hand dorsal vein images per subject acquired in two separate sessions 
    • 2 right-hand dorsal vein images per subject acquired in two separate sessions 
    • 2 left-hand palmar vein images per subject acquired in two separate sessions 
    • 2 right-hand palmar vein images per subject acquired in two separate sessions 
    • 2 left-hand wrist vein images per subject acquired in two separate sessions 
    • 2 right-hand wrist vein images per subject acquired in two separate sessions
