Guidance of Fingerprint Sensor Module with Suprema

Fingerprint was generally used for a special purpose such as criminal investigation in terms of none of individual having a same shape, and it has been gradually in close connection with our daily life that many devices have been integrated with a fingerprint sensor for decades such as a mobile device, access control, time attendance, vending machine, and so on. Suprema is a world leading biometrics company supporting a fingerprint sensor module to manufacturers in global, and we would like to introduce the best fingerprint sensor modules.

What is Fingerprint Sensor Module?

The fingerprint module is a key to transform an ordinary access control and attendance terminal into a fingerprint recognition device. It captures, stores and matches the user’s fingerprint, and can more implement functions through various protocols provided.

How does the Fingerprint Sensor Module Work?

Principle of Fingerprint Sensor

The fingerprint module is largely divided into a sensor that captures a fingerprint image and a processing board that processes the fingerprint recognition algorithm and stores/deletes the fingerprint template.
The device with the fingerprint sensor requires a high level of security, and it gives you an experience your life gets easier via tipping on your finger on the sensor to verify your identification fast. There are two types of fingerprint sensor module: optical and capacitive.

Sensor Type: Optical Sensor and Capacitive Sensor

Optical Fingerprint Sensor

The optical sensor captures a fingerprint image first, and captured image is then post-processed to enhance quality and make it usable for algorithm.

Capacitive Fingerprint Sensor

The capacitive fingerprint sensor uses an array of tiny capacitor circuits. These particular circuits use electrical currents to scan and generate an image of the ridges and valleys of a finger. Once captured, the processor linked to the sensor analyzes the digital image to look for distinctive and unique fingerprint attributes.

Three Advantages of Suprema Fingerprint Sensor Module

We would like to highlight the significant three benefits of using the fingerprint sensor module among several advantages.

FAQ

• Do you support fake fingerprint detection?

  Suprema’s Live Finger Detection (LFD) technology is based on analysis of dynamic and static image characteristics of the fake fingers. With the advanced analysis algorithm to detect abnormalities in dynamic changing pattern of fingerprints images, and several static features of liveness or unnaturalness of fingers, fake fingers are clearly distinguished from live fingers.

• What is the difference between a fingerprint scanner and fingerprint module?

  Remarkable distinction between a fingerprint scanner and fingerprint module is the place where fingerprint templates are stored and matched. The fingerprint scanner sto res and matches templates on server or PC, but the fingerprint module stores and matches templates on the module itself.
