What is the Most Reliable Fingerprint Reader?
By Bob Mesnik
Fingerprint readers scan the features of a person’s finger and create a digital code that can be used as a unique digital template. That’s the concept, but how do fingerprint readers actually work?
There are a number of different technologies used to scan the features of a fingerprint. The engineering challenge is to reliably read the ridges and valleys on the fingerprint so that it can be converted to a digital image.
This article reviews the most popular technologies that use Optical, Ultrasonic and Capacitive sensors.
