Biometric identification using vein patterns is a recent technique. The vein patterns are unique to each individual even in twins and they don't change over age except their size. As veins are beneath the skin it is difficult to forge. BOSPHOROUS hand vein database is used in this work. Hand vein images are uploaded first and key points using Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) are extracted. Then the neural network is used for training these images. Finally neural network is used for testing these images to check whether the image used for testing matches with the existing database or not. Results are computed like False Acceptation Rate (FAR), False Rejection Rate (FRR), accuracy and error per bit stream.
