Finger vein pattern recognition is an emerging biometric with a good
resistance to presentation attacks and low error rates. One problem is that it
is hard to obtain ground truth finger vein patterns from live fingers. In this
paper we propose an advanced method to create finger vein phantoms using 3D
printing where we mimic the optical properties of the various tissues inside
the fingers, like bone, veins and soft tissues using different printing
materials and parameters. We demonstrate that we are able to create finger
phantoms that result in realistic finger vein images and precisely known vein
patterns. These phantoms can be used to develop and evaluate finger vein
extraction and recognition methods. In addition, we show that the finger vein
phantoms can be used to spoof a finger vein recognition system. This paper is
based on the Master's thesis of Rasmus van der Grift.
