최근 위변조에 의한 본인 인증 관련 사고가 급증하였으며 지문인식 밑 기타 다양한 인증시스템이 연구되고 있다. 최근에는 사람의 지정맥을 활용한 인증 시스템의 개발에 차세대 인증 시스템으로 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 지정맥 인증 기술은 손가락 두 번째 마디 내 정맥을 말한다. 지정맥의 특성은 겉으로 보이지 않고 사람마다 패턴이 다르기 때문에 위 변조가 불가능하다. 뿐만아니라 지정맥 인증은 인증 절차가 간단하고, 보안성이 매우 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 기존 지문을 이용한 출/퇴근 정보는 각종 관련 사고를 유발 시킬 수 있음을 방지하고자 지정맥을 이용한 본인 인증에 대한 보안성을 높이고, 각종 부당 취득 사고(추가근무)를 미연에 방지할 수 있으며, 지정맥을 이용해 출입/퇴근 시간을 기록하며 기록된 데이터로 지각/추가 근무 시간을 정확하게 측정 할 수 있다. 본 논문의 연구 결과물을 통해서 지정맥을 이용한 출/퇴근 정보를 데이터베이스/엑셀/텍스트에 저장하고, 기록된 정보를 이용해 지각/추가근무 시간을 정확하게 산출하여 각종사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This study is an algorithm for detecting vein pattern features important for finger vein recognition. The feature detection algorithm is important because it greatly affects recognition results in pattern recognition. The recognition rate is degraded because the reference is changed according to the finger position change. In addition, the image obtained by irradiating the finger with infrared light is difficult to separate the image background and the blood vessel pattern, and the detection time is increased because the image preprocessing process is performed. For this purpose, the presented algorithm can be performed without image preprocessing, and the detection time can be reduced. SWDA (Down Slope Trace Waveform) algorithm is applied to the finger vein images to detect the fingertip position and vein pattern. Because of the low infrared transmittance, relatively dark vein images can be detected with minimal detection error. In addition, the fingertip position can be used as a reference in the classification stage to compensate the decrease in the recognition rate. If we apply algorithms proposed to various recognition fields such as palm and wrist, it is expected that it will contribute to improvement of biometric feature detection accuracy and reduction of recognition performance time.

Recently, the importance of personal information security has emerged. In particular, the importance of biometrics such as voice recognition, fingerprint recognition, face recognition has been highlighted in various fields such as access control, banking security, personal PC security and so on. But if such conventional security techniques are likely to be recognized by an external factor failure. In contrast, if the vein recognition is impossible to copy and counterfeit. Therefore less likely to fail due to external factors has the advantage. In this paper, propose a preprocessing method to improve on the existing vein pattern recognition with high reliability than existing biometric technologies.

Recently, biometric techniques such as face recognition, finger-print recognition and iris recognition have been widely applied for various applications including door access control, finance security and electric passport. This paper presents the method of using finger-vein pattern for the personal identification. In general, when the finger-vein image is acquired from the camera, various conditions such as the penetrating amount of the infrared light and the camera noise make the segmentation of the vein from the background difficult. This in turn affects the system performance of personal identification. To solve this problem, we propose the novel and fast method for extracting the finger-vein region. The proposed method has two advantages compared to the previous methods. One is that we adopt a locally adaptive thresholding method for the binarization of acquired finger-vein image. Another advantage is that the simple morphological opening and closing are used to remove the segmentation noise to finally obtain the finger-vein region from the skeletonization. Experimental results showed that our proposed method could quickly and exactly extract the finger-vein region without using various kinds of time-consuming filters for preprocessing.

This research derived sum of light (SOL) for Liaoning and Dandong, China, from DMSP OLS satellite images acquired at nighttime during 1992 to 2012 and investigated its potential association with economic status. The SOLs of Liaoning were found to be continuously increasing and higher than those of averages for the other provinces across the time period. The temporal pattern of SOLs would be interpreted to well reflect the economic status of this region based on real growth rate and average wage per capita. Nevertheless, the SOLs of Dandong were lower than the average of the other prefecture-level cities, which indicated the economic status of this city in China. Meanwhile, the average annual growth rate of SOLs for Dandong turned out to be increase for 1998~2007, compared with the previous years, and temporal patterns in the trade amount between North Korea and China and the export amount of North Korea to China were similar to those of SOLs in the same time period. The political association between South and North Koreas was improved with 'Sunshine Policy' during 1997~2007. Taking it into account, SOL is expected to be valuable spatial proxy index that could explain the geopolitcal and geoeconomic aspects of Dandong.
