1. Venous network sensor comprising:
- a set of infrared emitters,an acquisition means facing the set of infrared emitters,a set of presence detectors, each presence detector being associated with at least one infrared emitter, each infrared emitter being associated with at least one presence detector, each presence detector being intended to detect if a part of a living body is present between the infrared emitter with which the presence detector is associated and the acquisition means,means of activating an infrared emitter, when a presence detector associated therewith answers to a specific detection logic indicating the presence of a part of a living body between the associated infrared emitter and the acquisition means, andmeans of deactivating an infrared emitter, when the presence detector associated therewith does not answer to the specific detection logic,wherein four presence detectors are associated with each infrared emitter, and wherein each of the four presence detectors is positioned at a cardinal point of each infrared emitter, and the detection logic indicates the presence of the living body either by one, two, three or four of the presence detectors.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for slaving the activation of a set of infrared emitters of a sensor of venous networks to the presence of a living body between this set and an image acquisition means of the sensor. The method is characterized in that each infrared emitter (E) is activated if the presence of a part of the living body (CV) is detected by at least one presence detector (DP) which is associated therewith and each infrared emitter (E) is deactivated as long as the presence of a part of the living body (CV) is not detected.
