Abstract: Electronic Vein Finder is a system which aims to help locate and distinguish vein effectively for various medical purposes. The existing technology is complex and expensive. In this paper a simple design is proposed to capture the vein images under infrared lighting and extract the vein pattern using image processing technique. The enhanced image can be projected back on to the patient�s hand.
