Since attaining his Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo, Canada in 2007,
Assoc Prof Adams Kong has gone on to publish 12 journal and over 20 conference papers. He has developed three patents, of which, one has been approved while two others have been filed.
During his course of study, he has also gone to win the Scholastic Award from the Hong Kong Baptist University - an award presented only to the top student in his department. As a finalist of the 4th Young Inventor Awards 2002-2003, organized by Hewlett Packard and Far Eastern Economic Review, this capable inventor has received resounding media coverage for his “Palm Print Identification Algorithms for Real-Time Personal Identification”.
This palmprint identification system has earned several international and national awards. It has aslo been applied to several real applications, including the control of access to a laboratory and a hotel. He has recently been listed as one of the “Who’s Who” in the World.

US 2016/0004918 A1: Use of Relatively Permanent Pigmented or Vascular Skin Mark Patterns in Images for Personal Identification (2017)
Abstract: Embodiments include methods, devices, software, and systems for identifying a person based on relatively permanent pigmented or vascular skin mark (RPPVSM) patterns in images. Locations of RPPVSMs in different images of people are point matched, and a correspondence probability that the point matched RPPVSMs are from different people is calculated. Other embodiments are also described. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
US2014/0016832A1: Method And An Apparatus For Determining Vein Patterns From A Colour Image (2016)
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of determining vein patterns from a colour image for personal identification, the method comprising forming a counterpart of the colour image by applying a functional relationship obtained from optimization on the colour image, wherein the counterpart of the colour image comprises the vein patterns. An apparatus for determining vein patterns from a colour image is also disclosed.
