  • Arrangement for the optoelectronic recording of large-area fingerprints
    Patent number: 7567342
    Abstract: The invention is directed to an arrangement for the optoelectronic recording of large-area fingerprints, particularly for acquiring prints of the entire palm of the hand. The object of the invention is to find a novel possibility for recording the papillary ridge pattern of a hand which permits a complete optoelectronic image recording with one-time placement of large-area concave skin parts without the use of optical beam paths that are subject to contamination and without having to accept a loss of resolution.
