The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Personal Authentication Using Finger Knuckle Surface (2009, background): “Hand-based biometrics has attracted lot of attention and personal identification by using palmprint [1], [2], [4]–[6], [14], [15], [38]; hand geometry [7], [8]; 3-D finger geometry [9], [10]; and hand vein [11]–[13] have been proposed in the literature.”
Biometric Authentication: A Review (2009, methodology): “It also uses an infrared source of light and camera to produce an image of the vein pattern in the face or in the wrist [17].”
Personal Authentication Using Hand Vein Triangulation and Knuckle Shape (2009, methodology): “Furthermore, with the notable exception of [1], [3], there is no systematic (completely automated) proposal for hand vein based user authentication.”
50 Years of object recognition: Directions forward (2013, background): “Biometric vision-based systems for fingerprint recognition [17], iris pattern recognition [18], as well as finger-vein and palm-vein patterns [19, 20] have also gained acceptance by the law enforcement community and are widely used.”
Thermal cameras and applications: a survey (2013, background): “1 Thermal images are also used in other biometrics such as hand veins, neck veins and arm veins [58], and palm-dorsa vein patterns [115,41, 183].”
