Contactless Fingerprint
Scanners
BIOMETRIC SYSTEMS LOS ANGELES
With the advancement of the technology biometric
systems became more advance for Digital Security, until now probably you
have heard about the fingerprint recognition in which the requirement
was to touch the device and you are authenticated. But latest approaches shows
that we could have a finger scanner with no-touch activity, NIST
(National Institute of Standards and Technology) has just start funding a
number of startup companies to develop a touchless finger recognition
system. In contactless Biometric security persons presence is needed
but from meters away.
Special Fingerprint scanners have already been
used by Samsung and Apple in their Smartphone’s to authenticate users and in
near future fingerprint scanners are believed to be the part of many other
locked devices that could be unlocked using fingerprints, just to add an
extra layer of authentication fingerprint scanners are used to authenticate
between two fingers. Fingerprint sensors are one of the mostly used
identification system in biometric technology or in access
control technology.
Fingerprints requires the comparison of print patterns, the patterns
include minutia points, and are aggregate characteristics of ridge, and they
are the unique features present in patterns. To employ successfully imaging
technology for fingerprint scanners we also need to know about the
skin properties and pattern of the skin.
