Biometrics is mainly used for identification and access control, or for identifying individuals that are under surveillance. It refers to the measurement of someone’s physical characteristics. Examples include, Fingerprint, IRIS recognition and Face recognition.
Fingerprints are one of many forms of biometrics. It uses a unique, physical characteristic of an individual’s body, such as his fingerprint, to easily identify and verify that he is who he claims to be, fingerprint recognition is the best and easiest solution in the market today. Although biometric devices have been around for many years, the evolution of technology, combined with big decreases in cost, now make biometric devices readily available and affordable to customers, small business owner, larger corporations and public sector agencies.
The Fingerprint scanner is an input device that does two basic tasks. Firstly, the Fingerprint scanner captures an image of your Fingerprint. Secondly, the Fingerprint scanner determines whether the pattern of ridges and valleys in this image matches the pattern of ridges and valleys in pre-scanned images. Finally, some characteristics of every fingerprint are filtered and saved as a mathematical representation. As a result, only a series of numbers (a binary code) is used for verification.
