OREANDA-NEWS Scientists of RTU MIREA presented an innovative installation capable of identifying a person's personality by the pattern of veins. About this was reported in the press service of the Russian educational institution. The development will help ensure state, financial and personal security, as well as increase the level of personal data protection.

"Our development will be useful not only in these areas, it will also strengthen the security and protection of strategically important facilities, stop attempts of unauthorized access to secret, defense and other facilities," said Stanislav Kudzh, Rector of RTU MIREA.

The MIREA MOUTH explained that identifying a user by the pattern of veins can become an alternative to technologies for reading information from the shell of the eye or fingerprints. Since the veins are located inside the body and have many different features, it is extremely difficult to impersonate another person, which provides a high level of protection.

"The reading platform itself is a scanner: the hand is brought to the device, then the sensor emits a near-infrared beam in the direction of the palm. In this light, the unique parameters of the palm — the blood flowing in the veins of the palm — appear in the form of a pattern, as a complex individual pattern. A special optical system generates an image of the palm vein pattern using more than five million dots. The created image is processed, digitized, encoded and stored as a registered template," the university said.

The technology also takes into account the movement of blood in the vessels, which guarantees work only with living objects. The system can be integrated into system blocks, wall controllers, turnstiles and other devices. You can get information only after reading the vein pattern, which ensures reliable data protection. In the MOUTH of MIREA noted that the check does not take much time. Almost everyone can use the technology, regardless of the type of skin, its color and dirt.

Previously, Australian scientists have linked bright light at night with the appearance of mental disorders.
