METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CAPTURING SKIN PRINT IMAGES

摘要

2090484 9204689 PCTABS00011 A system for generating data characteristic of a rolled skinprint in real time. A body part such as a finger contacts a receiving surface (34) of an optical device. The receiving surface is imaged and recorded on an image recording medium (22) during the period of contact. The resulting record is then used to generate digital data representative of the image of the skinprint. This is especially useful for recording a rolled fingerprint image taken on a flat receiving surface.
