Sony FVA-U1 USB Finger Vein Authentication Device Cool Gadgets
December 2, 2009 | Component, Gadgets | Comments OffSony will be deployed in Japan, the FVA-U1, a peripheral vein finger USB-based authentication technology mofiria Company. According to Sony, the FVA-U1 is the world’s lightest and smallest finger vein authentication device. Thank you to mofiria technology, the device offers a fast response, high accuracy and comes in a compact size for mounting on mobile devices such as netbooks, laptops or mobile phones.
Sony’s “mofiria” uses a CMOS sensor captures the light scattered diagonally inside the veins of the finger, which makes possible an implementation plan. Tracing the veins is extracted from the captured image of the finger veins, and model data is compressed in size to one tenth store in memory, making it possible for the data to be stored on a mobile device.
Compared with other biometric authentication techniques, the vein authentication technology achieves greater accuracy on the personal identification and false resistance because it uses the veins inside the human body. Finger vein patterns differ from person to person, each finger to finger, and he says they do not change over the years. [via itechnews]
