Implementation of Biometric Verification of a Fingerprint Whose Image is Taken from a Glass Surface

Abstract

Biometric systems often use the comparison of fingerprint characteristics for authentication and identification of persons, especially in mobile devices. This paper presents the procedures, devices, tools and algorithms that, with the use of non-forensic specialized devices, successfully capture a fingerprint from a curved glass surface using a mobile phone’s digital camera and create a 3D model of the fingerprint that successfully unlocks a Samsung Android mobile device.
