The fingerprint reader translates illuminated images of fingerprints into digital code for further software processing, e.g. enrollment (fingerprint registration) and verification (authentication of registered users). The fingerprint reader uses the SEIR method and CMOS image sensor to capture high contrast, high resolution fingerprint images. A se- ries of algorithms extracts minutiae data from the image, mapping the distinguishing characteristics of fingerprint ridge ends, splits, dots, and arches. To identify or verify a fingerprint, a proprietary matching algorithm compares the extracted minutiae points from the input fingerprint on the optical module to a previously stored sample . The entire matching process takes roughly one second. There is a fingerprint reader avail- able in the USB version of the ET1529L.
