The invention discloses a device for collecting a multispectral image and a method thereof. The device at least comprises an infrared sensor (1), a device cover (2), ground glass (4), a multispectral light source circuit (5), a device transverse plate (6), a CCD camera (7), a power circuit (8) and a singlechip controlling circuit (9). Under a multi-spectral condition, the device and the method adopt active light of a single band and / or combined band of 400nm to 1,060nm to illuminate a palm to realize image shoot; and a light source is adjusted through a computer soft control method to realize high-quality image acquisition, display and storage. The utilization device and the method are used for obtaining high-quality palm images under the multi-spectral condition, and information including a palm print, a finger print, a palm vein and the like, thus solving problems of in vivo detection and improving the accuracy and safety of a palm biometrics identification system.
