Publication number: 20030174864Abstract: A computer implemented gambling chip recognition system having the ability to capture an image of a stack of gambling chips and automatically processing the image to determine the number of chips within the stack and the value of each. The system processor determines the classification for each chip in a stack by way of processing performed in real time on the image of the stack of gambling chips. The system further includes the ability to communicate the information derived from the stack of gambling chips to a video monitor and the ability to communicate the information to a main database where information is being compiled and stored about an individual gambler.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2003Publication date: September 18, 2003Applicant: Digital Biometrics, Inc.Inventor: Thomas Lindquist

Patent number: 6038332Abstract: The present invention provides a palm print scanner where a palm is placed on the exterior of a transplant cylinder. A light source rotatably positioned within the cylinder rotates about the circumference of the inner surface of the cylinder so that partial palm print images are propagated from the cylinder. The partial palm print images are captured by an imager and sent to an image memory where they are combined to form a composite palm print image.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1997Date of Patent: March 14, 2000Assignee: Digital Biometrics, Inc.Inventors: Glenn Fishbine, David E. Stoltzman

Patent number: 5467403Abstract: A portable and lightweight fingerprint scanning apparatus which can optically scan and record fingerprint images in the field and transmit said images to a mobile unit for processing and subsequent wireless transmission to a central location for the purpose of providing immediate identity and background checks on the individual being fingerprinted. The apparatus of the present invention includes a fingerprint scanner for capturing a fingerprint image, a camera for capturing a photographic image of a person or a scene and means for transmitting the fingerprint image and the photographic image to a mobile unit. In the preferred embodiment the present invention includes a highly integrated camera with a superior signal to noise ratio and an infrared lighting source for illuminating a person or scene in low ambient light situations.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1993Date of Patent: November 14, 1995Assignee: Digital Biometrics, Inc.Inventors: Glenn M. Fishbine, Robert J. Withoff, Theodore D. Klein

Patent number: 5249370Abstract: A finger drying component for use with a finger print image processing apparatus is disclosed. The drying component removes moisture from the finger so that an unsmudged finger print can be imaged. A preferred embodiment involves the use of a forced air dryer to conduct a stream of air across the optical imaging surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 1992Date of Patent: October 5, 1993Assignee: Digital Biometrics, Inc.Inventors: Bruce N. Stanger, Michael J. Miles, Glenn M. Fishbine

Patent number: 5230025Abstract: A system for generating data characteristic of a rolled skinprint in real time. A body part such as a finger contacts a receiving surface of an optical device. The receiving surface is imaged and recorded on an image recording medium during the period of contact. The resulting record is then used to generate digital data representative of the image of the skinprint. This is especially useful for recording a rolled fingerprint image taken on a flat receiving surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1990Date of Patent: July 20, 1993Assignee: Digital Biometrics, Inc.Inventors: Brian H. Fishbine, Glenn M. Fishbine, Theodore D. Klein, Daniel E. Germann, Mark Ransom

Patent number: 5222152Abstract: A portable fingerprint scanning apparatus for identification verification which can optically scan and record fingerprint images in the field and wirelessly transmit said images to a mobile unit for processing and subsequent wireless transmission to a central location for the purpose of providing immediate identity and background checks on the individual being fingerprinted. The apparatus includes a fingerprint scanner and a wireless transmitter to transmit the fingerprint image to a mobile unit. The apparatus can also include a video camera to capture a photographic image or "mug shot" for wireless transmission to a mobile unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1991Date of Patent: June 22, 1993Assignee: Digital Biometrics, Inc.Inventors: Glenn M. Fishbine, Robert J. Withoff
