 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. AutomatedFlashscan3D is designed to function independently of an operator. The subject simply positions their finger above the sensor and the “auto on” feature triggers the system to capture the fingerprint. The quality of the print is no longer tied to the skill of the operator manipulating the subject’s hand as is the case today. This will reduce training and staffing costs, eliminate any possibility for operator error, as well as produce a more consistent, high quality print. The fact that the device is automated also opens up the possibility to use the system for unattended access control. |
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. |
