PalmID: A New Biometric Method

From fingerprint scanning to FaceID, plenty of different forms of security methods exist today. Many of them are not 100% accurate for example; FaceID is unable to differentiate between identical twins. A new method recently introduced to the market promises consistently accurate and fast security processing; all with our hand palms by Redrock biometrics. The processing system comprises of converting RGB video of the palm into a template for authentication.


PalmID has several aspects working in its favor. Functioning at less than 100 milliseconds, the system is very fast. In order to function, It does not require any extra hardware than the minimum of a 0.3 pixel camera; making the method very compatible and easy to implement. As stated in its official website, PalmID works over several platforms (from ATMs to smartwatches). And it only requires a one-time enrolling to work across all platforms and systems.



Editor's Opinion
I see this technology useful in scenarios of Virtual Reality, where the palm is easily visible by the camera system. In total darkness, fingerprint scanning still is the most reliable method because it does not require light to function.
