Japanese tech companies Fujitsu and Fujitsu Frontech have unveiled two new palm vein authentication devices.Called the Fujitsu Biometric Authentication PalmSecure-F Pro and the Fujitsu Biometric Authentication Palm Vein Authentication Board, the devices are designed for a range of applications.The former is a sensor that can be embedded into equipment, with Fujistsu stating that the PalmSecure-F Pro features greater identification accuracy, and provides greater functionality for identifying individuals from among a huge database of registered palm vein data.In addition, offering the Palm Vein Authentication Board with embedded software enables application to devices with embedded-type operating systems, which previously had been difficult.In terms of upgrade over previous devices in the PalmSecure-F Pro, Fujitsu and Fujitsu Frontech have achieved a height of 13mm, less than half that of the PalmSecure Sensor V2, while maintaining the same authentication accuracy. This has made it possible to incorporate it into more compact devices.Also by incorporating a high-performance image sensor, the shutter speed has been improved to about five times that of the previous model, shortening the image-capture period, and limiting image blur. This has enabled the sensor to authenticate a palm with a more natural gesture while maintaining the same high accuracy as the previous model.The range of environmental conditions in which the new model can be used has also been significantly expanded with regard to temperature and sunlight compared with the previous model. This has made it possible to use the new model in a variety of situations, including outdoors.For the Palm Vein Authentication Board, the device features a compact design (85mm x 54mm x 20mm), about the size of a smartcard, suitable for embedding even into miniature devices.Meanwhile, image capture, registration of new palms, and authentication are all done by software on the Palm Vein Authentication Board, eliminating the need for a Windows or Linux operating environment.
