Hemoglobin of the blood tissues engrossed the Near Infrared (NIR) illuminated light and Night vision camera is used to capture the scene and enhance the vein pattern clearly using Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) method. This simple approach can successfully also lead to localizing bleeding spots, clots from stroke … etc among other things.
