Advances in Capturing Child Fingerprints: A High Resolution CMOS Image Sensor with SLDR Method

Abstract

The use of biometrics technology for person identification has become prevalent due to several innovations as a result of research and development in this field. The purpose of this study is to find a solution which realizes newborn and infant (younger than 12 months old) fingerprint (hereinafter called as "child print") identification under operational difficulties, especially as it relates to the capturing process. The focus here will be on design and prototyping of a fingerprint sensor for overcoming the difficulties in capturing newborn and infant fingerprints that have previously been difficult to obtain.
