Finger Print Scanner

Finger print scanners work in one of two ways - optical scanners that use optics like cameras to capture fingerprint images, or silicon scanners that place fingers directly on silicon. Optical scanners use CCD or CMOS sensors along with a light source and prism to capture fingerprints, but can be fooled by 2D images. Silicon scanners like those in phones use capacitive, thermal, or radio frequency methods and don't require an image. Fingerprint matching algorithms then use minutiae, patterns, or a hybrid of the two to identify and verify fingerprints.

Finger Print Scanner

How finger is Imaged?


INTRO

 Active Biometrics

 Needs to place his finger on the scanner

 Scanner captures the image and then transmits it


Types Of Scanners

 1) Optical Scanners
 2) Silicon Scanners
OPTICAL SCANNERS

 Composed of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) & Charge-couple


device (CCD).

 Use optics to gather finger images.

 Optics – part of camera system that captures the reflected light from a light source.
 To get an optical finger image the device will have,

1) Platen – used for presenting finger


2) Prism – used for reflecting lighted image to camera
3) Light source – to illuminate the fingerprint
4) Camera – to capture the finger image

 CCD is a light-sensitive integrated circuit that stores & displays the data for an image in
such a way that each pixel in the image is converted into an electrical charge.
 CCD is the older one.

 CCD for almost any digital imaging requirement.

 CCD takes high operating voltages.


 Streaming the finger image in a sequential manner.

 There are two flavours,

1) Passive arrangement
2) Active Pixel

 Passive arrangement - output of a row of pixels is detected by a simple amplifier.

 Active Pixel – each pixel has its own stage amplifier.


Cons (Disadvantage)

 Easy to fool

 This technology capture only 2D image so even other image with good quality can be used
to fool

 This type is not secure.


SILICON SCANNERS

 Place the finger directly on a piece of silicon

 Silicon includes capacitive, thermal and radio frequency.

 Best example is Smart Phone


Capacitive Scanners

 First silicon based scanners

 Instead of creating a traditional image of a fingerprint, capacitive fingerprint scanners use


arrays tiny capacitor circuits to collect data about a fingerprint.

 Once captured, this digital data can be analysed to look for distinctive and unique
fingerprint attributes, which can be saved for a comparison at a later date
 First implemented as a “Swipe” scanners.

 But sometimes it takes several attempts to scan the result.

 Now a days using as simple press and hold method.


Thermal
 Provide the temperature difference between before and after the finger is presented

 Ex -
 Uses body’s own heat as the signal to measure.

 After placing the finger on surface, the ridges and valleys provide the temperature
difference.

 Generate a signal through pyro-electric effect


Radio Frequency (RF)

 Works by imaging the live layer below the skin.

 Two parallel plates that generate an electric field between them

 First finger exposed on drive plate, and this finger will be captured using the sensor below
the silicon.
Types Of Algorithm

 Algorithm used to match and enrol fingerprints fall under the following,
1) Minutia-Based
2) Pattern – Based
3) Hybrid – Based

Minutia Based Algorithm:


 Need to provide the highest quality image.
 The minutia in the template are compared to the raw template.
 Templates are smaller than the pattern based matching templates.

 Small parts of finger are required for verification.

Pattern Based Algorithm:

 Both micro and macro features of finger

 Size of the image required for authentication is large in size.

 Require more space for image area to be present during verification.

 Tend to be fast.
Hybrid Algorithm

 It uses the best features of minutia and pattern based algorithm.

 Uses the speed of pattern based and accuracy of minutia.

 High quality optical sensor will be used.

 It is known as all-purpose algorithm.

 High quality optical sensor will be used.


 In this algorithm enrolling takes time, but matching will be fast.
