This paper discusses the use of a biometric system for secure authentication based on deeper exploration in hand vein patterns to derive more reliability as a good biometric trait. The proposed system identifies internal hand vein patterns, and also identifies individuals correctly throughout their lifetime. The proposed system follows a three-phase approach comprising data processing, feature extraction, and feature evaluation. For the advanced filtering techniques in a dataset of 420 hand vein images, the approach goes to Box filters, HFEF, and CLAHE, then to discrete cosine transformation and image fusion. The features are extracted through PCA Net for acquiring the most distinctive attributes of hand veins. The different machine learning algorithms used in this evaluation for classification of the extracted features include SVM, Logistic Regression, and Naive Bayes. Results indicate highest accuracy for Logistic Regression algorithm (99.7%) and SVM algorithm of (99.6%). However, Random Forest algorithm has an accuracy of (98%), while Naive Bayes algorithm shows poorer accuracy of (91%).
