Fujitsu develops high-speed imaging technology

Friday, April 17, 2009 in News

Fujitsu, a Japan-based developer of biometric technology, has announced that they have developed the first image technology that can perform palm-vein authentication in motion requiring only one millisecond to perform the capture. Fujitsu says the technology is as accurate as its past vascular imaging technologies that required a static hand to take a sample capture.


The developers further claim that the device is capable of capturing images at the same rate of speed as an average walking speed. With the new technology in place, Fujistu expects to be able to create palm-vein scanning devices that are much more user friendly and can operate with as much if not more ease then most contactless ID card systems making the technology more applicable for physical access control than before. [end]
