Biometric systems have been gaining a widespread popularity in recent years. For example, fingerprint biometrics have been proliferated in many serious applications such as border control. However, despite the current fingerprint identification systems have been proven popular the necessity of physical contact with scanners, in most existing systems and the demand of stationary finger during acquisition, constraint the throughput of tested people. This limitation along with hygienic concerns calls for a system that overcomes these limitations.
In this paper, we strive to solve some of the existing obstacles by developing a fingerprint acquisition system using a contactless optical scanner. The proposed system is designed to collect the fingerprint information while the user is in motion, a so called on-the-fly fingerprint extraction. A device that meets these demands is introduced along with examples of the achieved results. The quality of the acquired fingerprints images has been assessed according to the common standard. We show that the proposed approach is promising to adopt in fingerprint extraction.
