摘要:In any surgery, the first important phase is an insertion of an intravenous (IV) catheter. The majorproblem face by the physicians is difficulty in accessing vein for IV drug delivery or taking blood samples for test. Incase of children, adults, critical care patients etc. It is very difficult task. Unnecessary puncturing of veins occurs due topoor visibility. Wrong puncturing may leads many problems such as bruises or permanently damage the vein. Toovercome from these problems there is a need of vein detection system. The paper presents an approach for claheenhancement based Vein detection System. In the proposed work contrast intensity is used to identify the veins appearson the back of the hands and live camera(WEBCAM) is used to capture the images. The preprocessing is done toenhance the vein image using MATLAB 2013b version. The two key characteristics of this device discussed in thepaper are portability and low cost.
