    摘要: A fingerprint image is derived from the direct optical reading of a finger by an optical and electronic scan of the finger with a beam of coherent, collimated light. The beam is shaped in the form of a slit of light which extends the length of the finger zone to be interrogated. That slit light beam is scanned across the finger in a direction perpendicular to the axis of that slit. The rays which constitute the interrogating light in the slit define an incident light beam in the form of a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the finger being interrogated. The light beam and the rest of the optical system is rotated about an axis that is substantially coincident with the axis of the finger so that this perpendicular relationship between the plane of the interrogating light beam and the surface of the finger is maintained throughout the scan.

    摘要: @ In an optical fingerprint image processing apparatus a light beam is scanned across a finger placed against a transparent platen in order to provide a reflected modulated light beam carrying fingerprint information. The modulated light beam is imaged and the image is intercepted by an array of photo receptors that detect the image and convert the optical signal into electrical signals. The improvement is in placing a diffuser element, which may be a ground glass wafer, in the interrogating light beam. The diffusion of the light beam acts as an effective filter to eliminate the higher spatial frequency components of the optical image and thus provide a fingerprint image having improved continuity.

    摘要: An automatic fingerprint enrollment and identification technique is provided for automatically processing an input image represented by pixels having either a one or a zero value. The automatic processing involves a series of steps in which the initial processing is a rough screening technique for eliminating a reasonable portion of the noise while passing through almost all of the minutia. As the steps proceed, the processing becomes more complex to provide a tighter screening out of noise while passing through as much of the minutia as possible. The later steps by operating on relatively fewer minutia or anomaly points that the earlier steps can be economical though more complex so as to be more discriminate than the earlier steps. The processing provides an optimum trade off between enrolling as large a proportion of the population as possible while minimizing the number of false identification errors.

    摘要: A curved cylindrical segment platen (18) has a concave touching surface (18b). An interrogating slit light beam is scanned around the platen to scan a finger held against the touching surface. An optical imaging system images (20) the zone illuminated onto an array of photo-transducers (22) to provide a signal representing the fingerprint. The optical system is rotated (40) around the platen. The axis (17) of the interrogating light beam (16) is substantially normal to the touching surface (18b). The axis (28a) of the imaging system is off normal by about 56 degrees, an amount which is greater than a critical angle equal to the maximum angle of refraction (MAR) in the platen. This critical angle is approximately 41 degrees. The axis (28) of the imaging system is also off normal to the non-touching surface (18a) by an angle that is less than this critical angle of 4l degrees and thus less than the angle of total internal reflection (TIR). As a consequence, the image at the photo-transducers provides a completely dark valley zone and a sharply contrasting light image ridge ,zone.

    摘要: An input fingerprint image consists of ones and zeros pixels representing light and dark pixels which in turn correspond to ridge and valley formations. This image is compared with a reference file fingerprint to verify the identity of the input fingerprint. The reference file has two relatively small segments which are subfields of the entire field of pixels that constituted the original fingerprint image for the individual involved. Two substantially larger domain sub- fields are extracted from the input fingerprint image. The center of each segment corresponds to the center of a respective one of the domains. Each segment is scanned over its corresponding domain to determine the position of maximum ones correlation and maximum zeros correlation between each segment and its corresponding domain. These four positions together with the correlation values associated with each of these four positions are subjected to various criteria to provide positive or negative verification of the input image relative to the reference file. These criteria include (a) positional closenes to one another, (b) exclusion of the positions from a predetermined border of the domain, (c) closeness of the correlation values of certain of the positions, and (d) magnitude of the sum of the ones correlations and zeros correlation for certain of the positions.

    摘要: A finger (F) pressed against a platen (32) provides a fingerprint object which is scanned by an interrogating beam of collimated light (30) in the form of a slit and that is linearly displaced across the platen. As the slit-beam scans across the back surface of the platen, the reflected light beam is modulated. The modulated beam is imaged onto a linear array of photodiodes (12) to provide a series of output signals indicative of modulation information. The outputs of the diodes are serially interrogated at each of successive scan positions to provide a set of signals containing fingerprint information. The platen has a transparent glass base (92). A layer of transparent, compressible, resilient epoxy (94) is on the back of the glass base (92). The epoxy layer (94) has a flat back surface. A thin silver reflecting layer (96) on the back surface of the epoxy provides a flat mirrored surface to reflect the light beam. A further epoxy layer (97) on top of the silver provides mechanical filtering. A lacquer layer (99) at the back protects the platen from wear. When a finger is applied to the back surface, the ridges of the finger distort the underlying layers sufficiently so that the reflected light at the ridge zones is scattered while the reflected light at the valley zones is collimated. This difference in scatter is transformed by an imaging lens (65) to a difference in intensity at the diode array (12).

    摘要: A set of Search identification points (16) derived from an optical scan (12) of a finger are compared against File identification (18) points for the same finger. A multiple comparator (20) divides the finger image into multiple segments. The Search and File points from each segment are compared separately. A difference table (D.T.) (22) provides a proximity value Q for each search point. The D.T. is purged (28, 30) of all entries representing multiple Search points. The purge keeps those entries having the highest Q value. The purged D.T. with recalculated Q values is the basis for correcting the position of each Search point on the image plane to compensate for shift in finger position and for the variable distortion and changes that come about in a finger over time and upon successive applications of the finger to input scan (40). The corrected Search points are compared against the File points to establish a new D.T. A proximity value Q for each entry on this D.T. is calculated and a proximity value Q for the entire table is calculated. These proximity values in view of the number of entries on the difference table are used to verify identification in a scoring routine (52).
