This project at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University designs and develops a low-cost, faster, more accurate and touchless 3D fingerprint identification system for high security applications.
The advanced biometric identification using proposed system will enable the low-cost, faster, hygienic and more accurate identification of humans for wide range of civilian/forensic applications.
Special Features and Advantages
- Contactless 3D fingerprint recovery and matching using single fixed camera;
- Extended minutiae representation and matching in 3D space;
- Simultaneous 2D and 3D Fingerprint matching for higher accuracy/security;
- Lower cost and superior performance than state-of-the-art 3D fingerprint systems;
- Proprietary 3D fingerprint algorithms protected by awarded US Patent.
Applications
- High security automated immigration crossing;
- Touchless fingerprint identification for improved hygiene;
- Automated detection of surgically altered fingerprints.
