Product Introduction

1.1 Overview
AMT-PVR-10 is a single-lens near infrared light camera module that supports to capture the palm print and palm vein grayscale images for recognition process. The module is configured with near-infrared LED lights, wide dynamic image sensor, and aspherical
distortion-free camera lens. The module’s built-in high-performance, low- power- consumption processor is up to 400MHz. Single USB cable is utilized to provide low-voltage power supply and rich communication interfaces, making it easy to integrate with 3rd
party host device.
AMT-PVR-10 captures the surface-area palm prints and subcutaneous palm veins in a single image. The associated PalmLite SDK takes the approach of the surface-area palm print patterns such as palm lines and ridges, as well as subcutaneous palm vein  patterns, to identify individual user.
The near-infrared (NIR) light has the feature to penetrate the skin and present subcutaneous vascular patterns in grayscale image when active fresh blood flows over the vessel system. As a result it provides high-secured anti- spoofing protection benefit, in  addition, the palm veins are not exposed to public and requires special device to collect, it has less privacy concerns compared to face recognition approach.
The combination of palm print and palm vein patterns together provide an unreplicable, robust, and unique biometric features of for individual identification and verification.
The software development kits AMT PalmLite SDK allows easy and agile integration of palm recognition functions to 3rd party applications. The palm module and the SDK together provide an affordable biometric solution to SMB customers. The solution is widely applied to workforce management, access control and security, single sign-on, identity management areas and more…

Algorithm Specifications

3.1 Palm Recognition Algorithm

Palm recognition technology captures near-infrared light reflections to form images of surface-area palm lines and subcutaneous palm veins pattern and utilizes convergence to identify or verify individual identity. The technology boosts powerful anti-spoofing
protection, as only active refresh blood flowing over the vessels can present grayscale images.
AMT PalmLite SDK is a high-performance and high-accuracy near-infrared palm recognition algorithm developed for large-volume palm recognition and tolerant to palm postures in various lighting conditions. It makes the algorithm and SDK suitable to a variety of applicable environments with very friendly user- experience.
The proper palm postures for enrollment and matching are shown in Figure 3.1:

3.1.2 Palm Registration Image Quality Requirements
The image saved while palm registration has JPG or BMP format and the minimum resolution is 160 x 120 pixels. The individual should take care of the following things while registering their palm:
The image for palm registration is in JPG or BMP format and the minimum resolution is 160 x 120 pixels. Please follow the following guidelines while registering the individual’s palm:

  • The palm should be separated from the background.
  • The palm should be evenly illuminated to ensure good quality of the palm print and palm vein image.
  • The whole palm (including the wrist) should be within the camera frame and the aspect ratio of the palm must not be distorted.
  • Put the palm posture properly and keep the pitch, roll, yaw, and bend within 5 degrees.

Frequetn Asked Questions

1. What shall I do when there is no response from the palm vein module even the module is connected?

Answer: First, open the computer management from your windows system to check if AMT-PVM-10 has been successfully connected. Next, check whether the connection button in the demo (see attached software package) is enabled or not. If these two potential problems are excluded, please contact the technical support team in time to analyze the other reasons such as hardware failure, demo issues and so on.

2. What shall I do if it fails to register the user?

Answer: Firstly, please confirm that AMT-PVM-10 has been already connected to the system, and then open the demo for initialization. Next, verify if the palm position, angle, and the palm placing distance are proper. Read the pop- up error code and check the reason for the error by comparing with the development document. If the issue still exists, please contact the technical support team to resolve the issue.

3. What if the product doesn’t work during identification?

Answer: Firstly, confirm that the scanner is successfully connected to the system, and the demo can be opened normally. If there is no response, pull out and re-plugin the module. If the problem still exists, check the error code or change the module and continue identification. If the problem cannot be resolved, please contact the technical support team to check if it is a hardware problem.

4. What shall I do if the user verification fails after the module is connected to the PC and identifies the user successfully?

Answer: If the user has been registered, please confirm you present the same palm for verification. And ensure the palm is placed in proper posture and distance . During verification, you can adjust the palm posture and distance, so that AMT-PVM-10 can better take high quality palm image.
