Fujisoft Partners With Mofiria to Offer Finger Vein Recognition

Near-infrared lights combined with a special camera capture an image of the finger vein patterns.

McKINNEY, Texas – Fujisoft, a Japanese IT systems integrator and solutions vendor, is partnering with Mofiria Corp., a biometrics equipment manufacturer spun out from Sony in 2010, to offer advanced finger vein authentication (FVA) solutions.

FVA is a method of biometric authentication that uses pattern-recognition techniques based on images of human finger vein patterns beneath the skin’s surface. As explained in a video posted on BiometricsUpdate.com by Satoshi Amagai, Mofiria President and CEO, Mofiria uses a CMOS sensor that diagonally captures vein pattern images by reflecting near-infrared lights inside the finger.

As explained in the video, because deoxyhemoglobin in the blood absorbs near-infrared lights, vein patterns appear as a series of dark lines. The near-infrared lights combined with a special camera within mofiria’s flat device layout, captures an image of the finger vein patterns. The image is then converted into pattern data and stored as a template, incorporating a person’s biometric authentication data. During authentication, the finger vein image is captured and compared against the stored template of the user.

Mofiria designs user-friendly embedded and standalone devices incorporating a patented special matching algorithm that enables fast and accurate operation. The matching algorithm automatically corrects and adjusts a finger’s position data, thereby enhancing the solution’s usability.

“We’re excited to announce our partnership with Mofiria, one of the most innovative companies focused on biometric security and specifically finger vein authentication,” says Reiko Yasue, director of Fujisoft’s global business division. “This partnership underlines our joint ambition to support customers globally in protecting their most valuable assets from information leakage and fraud.”
