Palm vein identification apparatus and method of use
View Patent ↗A palm vein identification apparatus includes a base to support a first sensor; the first sensor mounted on the base via a multi-axis gimbal, the multi-axis gimbal to provide movement of the sensor such that the sensor can capture one or more images from a plurality of angles; a position control in communication with the first sensor and to correct movement of the first sensor; and a secondary sensor mounted on the base, the secondary sensor to capture an environment around the palm vein identification apparatus to detect a palm; the first sensor is positioned based on information collected from the secondary sensor.
1. A palm vein identification apparatus, comprising:
a base configured to support a first sensor;
the first sensor mounted on the base via a multi-axis gimbal, the multi-axis gimbal configured to provide movement of the sensor such that the sensor can capture one or more images from a plurality of angles;
a position control in communication with the first sensor and configured to correct movement of the first sensor; and
one or more secondary sensors mounted on the base, the one or more secondary sensors configured to capture an environment around the palm vein identification apparatus to detect a palm;
wherein the first sensor is positioned based on information collected from the one or more secondary sensors.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
an optical zoom lens incorporated into the first sensor.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a digital lens incorporated into the first sensor.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the position control is a servomechanism.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a control system configured to receive images captured from the first sensor for communication.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor is a camera.
7. A method of palm vein identification, the method comprising:
providing a palm vein identification apparatus having a base supporting a first sensor, the first sensor mounted on the base via a multi-axis gimbal and in communication with a position control;
detecting, via a secondary sensor mounted on the base, an environment and a presence of a palm;
manipulating, via the multi-axis gimbal and based on information received from the secondary sensor, the first sensor such that the first sensor can capture one or more images of the palm;
capturing the one or more images of the palm via the first sensor.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
zooming into the palm via an optical zoom lens incorporated into the first sensor.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first sensor is a camera.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the position control is a servomechanism.
11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
verifying, via a control system, an authentication of the palm based on the one or more images.
12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
zooming into the palm via a digital lens incorporated into the first sensor.
