 Worn or Damaged PrintsA combination of Structured Light and non-contact imaging techniques yields better treatment of damaged or worn prints, lowering failure to enroll rates. 3-D: New Standard of QualityUnlike competing systems that acquire an image of what a fingerprint looks like, our system makes quantitative 3-D surface measurements that reveal actual ridge shape and depth. It is precisely this 3-D structure that gives a fingerprint its unique latent print characteristics and allows for the formation of minutiae. Capturing this data in 3-D allows for a more accurate representation of the true object, rather than a 2-D representation of a 3-D object, and ultimately yields more accurate data. |
Main MenuSpeed of Capture Our device captures a rolled equivalent fingerprint in less than one second with no operator manipulation of the subject’s hand. This feature allows it to be used in high volume environments such as airports or security checkpoints where the capture of rolled equivalent prints would previously have been impossible due to operational or time constraints. Non-Contact Scanning Utilizing a non-contact approach allows us to produce higher quality images with better minutiae detection results since there is no contact with the scanner to distort the image. Because there are no varying amounts of pressure when in contact with the sensor, our images are more consistent and repeatable. In high volume environments a non-contact scanner leaves no latent prints or residue on the scanner that need to be cleaned or could generate noise for subsequent scans. Non-contact scanning is also a more culturally sensitive scanning technique in many parts of the world. |
