How can I get the best quality fingerprint images?


Poor-quality fingerprints are characterized by smudged, faded or otherwise distorted areas on the fingerprint. These conditions can be caused by excessive dryness or wetness, excessive or insufficient pressure, or scarring of the skin at the fingertip.

The quality of fingerprint images is relative to the number of minutiae points captured by the sensor. Fingerprint images not possessing an adequate number of minutiae points may be unreadable. For those users whose fingerprint images lack sufficient minutia points and cannot be read by the sensor, it’s advised to issue those few users a secret password, instead.

The fingerprint matching algorithm is often capable of extracting the correct minutiae even without the benefit of a perfect print. However, the positioning of the finger and the relative moisture and pressure of the fingerprint when it is placed on the sensor are important contributing factors in achieving a good consistent fingerprint match.

 
Proper Finger Placement

The user’s finger should completely cover the sensor. The finger should be placed flat and in the centre of the sensor. The finger should cover at least 80% of the sensor.

Uniclox recommends that users register at least one finger from each hand.

Since the fingerprint sensor may have difficulty reading fingers with cuts or scratches, having a “backup” finger(s) registered ensures that the user will always be recognized even if one's finger is temporarily rendered “unreadable” by recent cuts or scratches.
