6 Modality-specific information 6.1 Capture recommendations 6.1.1 Image area Vascular pattern biometric technologies obtain images from different locations of the human body. The technologies currently available employ images from the finger, back of the hand, and palm side of the hand. The location used for imaging shall be specified in the format. Also, the direction (left/right) of hand and/or finger index (thumb, index, middle, ring, and little) shall be specified. This document reserves fields for future development of technologies potentially using different parts of the human body. 6.1.2 Illumination For the capture of vascular biometric images, the skin is typically illuminated using NIR wavelengths in the range of approximately 700 to 1 200 nm. The angle from the light source to the tangent plane of the skin’s surface is not defined in VIR because technologies that use a reflectance image may use diffuse illumination instead of direct illumination for the purpose of avoiding specular reflectance. Instead, this document specifies that the image is either based on transparency or reflectance of the observed biometric characteristic. Two or more wavelengths of the illumination light source may be specified in the case that multiple different light sources are used for background masking. 6.1.3 Normalization of projection The captured image shall be an orthographic projection of the body area being imaged. If the original raw image is not orthographic to the body area, it shall be converted to an orthographically projected one. Any major geometric distortion caused by the optical system shall also be eliminated prior to creation of the VIR. 6.1.4 Occlusion by opaque artifacts Some opaque artifacts, such as rings, tattoos, bandages, etc., can occlude vascular patterns. Using images including occlusions should be avoided.
