Method And Apparatus For Discriminating Ambient Light In A Fingerprint Scanner

US Patent:
2005024, Nov 10, 2005
Filed:
Apr 29, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/117706
Inventors:
George McClurg - Jensen Beach FL, US
John Carver - Palm City FL, US
Gregory Cannon - Boynton Beach FL, US
Timothy McDow - Jupiter FL, US
International Classification:
G06K009/00
US Classification:
382127000
Abstract:
A surface pattern imaging device applicable to fingerprint and other surface imaging applications operates with an illumination source. In an embodiment, the illumination source is a narrow band green light, and an optical imaging path of the reader includes a green band pass filter and an infrared (IR) cutoff filter between the surface of interest and an image sensor. The filters prevent ambient light outside the green range from reaching the image sensor. In an exemplary embodiment useful in fingerprint imaging, ambient light wavelengths in the green range are absorbed and blocked naturally by the finger, and therefore cannot pass through the finger into the imaging path. Ambient light in other ranges, particularly including the red and infrared ranges which may pass through the finger, is attenuated by the band pass and IR cutoff filters. The image sensor in the improved reader therefore receives the light reflected from the green illumination source, while interference from ambient light sources is substantially attenuated.

Inventors:
William Siegel - Wellington FL, US
Ronnie Leighty - Lutz FL, US
Christian Liautaud - Boca Raton FL, US
Aleksandr Sorokin - Hobe Sound FL, US
Timothy McDow - Jupiter FL, US
Assignee:
Cross Match Technologies, Inc. - Palm Beach Gardens FL
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382116000
Abstract:
A hand-held personal identification device is provided. The hand-held personal identification device includes a sensor system for gathering biometric information from individuals, a profiler system for developing profiles of individuals based on biometric information gathered from the sensor system, and a personal data assistant or similar computing device with a screen for providing a user interface and overall system control. A sensor system interface couples the sensor system to the computer module.
