Fingerprint Scan, a T-Bridge Technologies product, is a new type of biometric technology that converts an ordinary smartphone into a touchless fingerprint reader using a smartphone’s built-in camera. Unlike the traditional fingerprint scanners that utilize direct contact, the application makes use of high-definition camera technology for scanning and reading fingerprints without direct contact, thereby making it a highly sanitary and convenient solution for authentication and access control. The application has been developed with the aim to meet stringent industry demands, boasting support for output formats such as ANSI_378_2004, ISO_19794_2, among others, on which it offers full compatibility to be used for commercial fingerprint matchers as well as biometric databases.

Upon usage of Fingerprint Scan after installation, the experience is fairly innovative and enjoyable. The effectiveness of taking clear fingerprint images under inconsistent light sources is simply marvelous, thanks to the use of the smartphone LED flash and good image processing algorithms. This capability is totally essential to attain accuracy and stability in day-to-day use, when light conditions vary so widely. Touch-free scan mode is not only enhancing people’s convenience, but also avoiding contamination risks from the system’s shoulders in areas that are destined to implement exact cleanliness policy in day-to-day operation, such as health and government industries. The application also features sophisticated liveness detection technology, which guarantees the fingerprint in question is from a living person and hence spoofs-proof against photos, videos, or synthetic molds. The feature adds an added level of security, making the application suitable for secure applications like law enforcement and facility access.

The app’s registration and verification are easy. Users are able to take fingerprints of all fingers, and the application extracts biometric information in conformity with international standards, allowing it to be used with existing biometric systems. The app interface is intuitive and easy to use, guiding users through every step with instructions and visual feedback. However, the scanning speed will be dictated by the smartphone’s camera and processing power, at least a 5 MP camera, 1 GB RAM, and 1 GHz processor. While the app works well on mid-range phones, older or lower-end smartphones might have slower processing speeds or struggle sometimes to take clear fingerprint scans.

Fingerprint Scan’s compatibility with multiple output formats such as JPEG, PNG, WSQ, and raw fingerprint data formats gives it great flexibility to be incorporated into different biometric procedures. Fingerprint Scan is ISO 30107-3 certified for biometric presentation attack detection and FIDO UAF certified, testifying to its compliance with global security standards. The certifications assure users and organizations that the app is reliable and secure in handling sensitive biometric data.
