ANORDNING FOR ATT MED HJELP AV KARAKTERISTISKA DRAG HOS EN PERSONS HAND VERIFIERA PERSONENS IDENTITET

摘要

Apparatus for verifying a person's identity with the aid of characteristic features of that person's hand. A data processing device compares measured characteristic features with previously registered, corresponding information concerning the same person, and video camera equipment registers the hand image in digital form in a memory. A light box is arranged to give the hand sufficient space so that it does not need to come into contact with the walls of the box. A pulsed light source sends light pulses which are short in relation to the image frequency, for preventing blurring due to movement in the information recorded by the video equipment.
