How does a fingerprint reader (finger scanner) work?
In a fingerprint scanner, an array of properly distributed LEDs sends light onto a glass, plastic or transparent surface that the finger presses on. The quality of the fingerprint may vary each time the fingerprint is applied, depending on the degree of contamination of the finger, the surface testing the prints, or the color and intensity of lighting in the immediate vicinity of the reader. The light emitted by the LEDs is reflected from the surface of the finger scanner and received by an image sensor based on CCD or CMOS technology. The longer the image scanning process takes, the brighter the image will be sent to the image sensor. If the image is too bright, it may distort the image and prevent proper reading of fingerprints and other important details. Then, in accordance with the algorithm of the program loaded on the control microprocessor, an appropriate light or sound signal will be sent, informing about a reading error and the need to repeat it. If the scanned image of the fingerprint is clear enough, then the scanned fingerprint system is measured and compared with the pattern. If the reading fails again, the scanning should be repeated, and if it was performed successfully, the reader signals this fact with an appropriate light or sound signal. The scanned image of the fingerprint is saved in FLASH memory and then sent via USB, WiFi or another communication method to a computer, which processes the data about the fingerprint for further purposes.
A modern fingerprint reader at an affordable price
The Botland store offers fingerprint reader modules from DFRobot, which ensure compatibility with Arduino, and their price is very attractive. The built-in STM32 processor ensures high quality of work. These readers can work as stand-alone devices without the need to connect to a computer, and the built-in software allows for intelligent image processing, comparison of fingerprints and searching the memory of saved fingerprints. The built-in memory allows you to store 1000 fingerprint scans. The DFRobot fingerprint reader module can be used as an access control device to various rooms, as well as protection against starting the vehicle by unauthorized persons.
Fingerprint readers
Nowadays, fingerprint readers are one of the most popular protections against unauthorized access to electronic devices. Instead of entering the code, users can simply place one of their selected fingers in the designated place.
This is a much safer method than traditional passwords. A fingerprint is often more secure than properly created, unique passwords.
Ultrasonic fingerprint reader
Technology is constantly developing and individual solutions are being improved. The same also applies to fingerprint readers. Ultrasonic sensors are designed to increase measurement accuracy and ease of use.
The ultrasonic reader is able to create a precise map of the shape of the bulb using ultrasound. It also offers greater accuracy and versatility. For example, a smartphone with such equipment can perform fingerprint readings on the entire screen, not just a designated area.
Fingerprint readers - FAQ
The most popular type of fingerprint readers are currently capacitive devices, but other technologies are also used, such as modern readers using ultrasound.
The fingerprint reader is used to identify people based on their fingerprints. Devices of this type are used primarily for biometric identification of people related to security issues, for example in electronic devices or access control systems .
When scanning your finger on the fingerprint sensor, remember to touch the sensor with as much skin surface as possible. For best results, the first scan should be repeated several times.
Most devices allow you to disable the fingerprint sensor, but for security reasons this is not recommended.
