Fingerprint is the most widely adopted biometric solution for identity verification and authentication owing to its speed, user-friendliness, high level of accuracy, security and cost-effectiveness. Biometric fingerprint scanning utilises the unique patterns of ridges and valleys on a person’s fingertips for verifying his/her identity.
Fingerprint devices are used in various applications across numerous sectors such as access control, time and attendance tracking, Identity verification for government services, banking and financial transactions, patient identification in healthcare, law enforcement and criminal identification. Fingerprint scanning involves several key steps such as recording the digital image of the fingerprint using a sensor, identifying unique patterns on the fingerprint using a software, converting these features into a digital template and finally comparing the scans against stored templates for verification.
