III.IMPLEMENTATIONS

The F3EB2AS classification system is a notable

advancement in biometric authentication,
expanding upon the original set of vein patterns to
include eight distinct patterns. This classification
enables a comprehensive analysis of finger vein
patterns, facilitating precise comparison between
an individual's vein pattern and authorized
templates for accurate authentication.
