Abstract

This project details a door access system with a two-factor biometric authentication. Biometric
information is a unique feature that is obtained from the human body and is distinguishable from one
another. The prototype uses sensors to build a working proof of concept. Capturing the image of vein
patterns usually requires a special camera with a Charged-Couple Device (CCD) sensor. Thus, hardware
modification is done to a standard camera to produce a clear vein pattern image. The output taken directly
from this camera is not ideal for biometric verification purposes hence image enhancement techniques are
applied. Algorithms were developed to identify key features of the vein pattern for verification. Different
algorithms and threshold were tested on the image to find the best combination. A database of registered
vein pattern is populated with the user information so the user information of the matching vein pattern will
be shown when verification is done. Upon successful verification of the biometric information, the door
would unlock.
