FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION
- Fingerprint recognition technology is widely accepted because it is fast, non-intrusive and reliable.
- A quality sensor enhances speed accuracy while a good software recognition algorithm will minimize false rejection.
- Fingerprints are unique for each finger of a person including identical twins.
- One of the most common biometric technologies, fingerprint recognition devices for desktop and laptop access are widely available at low cost.
- With the devices, users no longer need to type password instead, only a touch provides instant access.
- Fingerprint is so common, so many criminals have attempted to cheat the system and modern terminals have built-in technology thwart fraud and allow recognition even under difficult environmental conditions.
- Vein scan biometric technology works with fingerprint scanners to ensure that a prosthetic finger is not used.
- The technology uses near-infrared light to detect vein vessel pattern.
