Optical readers Reflection The oldest live-scan readers use frustrated refraction over a glass prism (when the skin touches the glass, the light is not reflected but absorbed). The finger is illuminated from one side with a LED while the other side transmits the image through a lens to a camera. (FTIR: frustrated total internal reflection). Optical readers -Reflection Reflection with sweep Kinetic Sciences and Cecrop/Sannaedle have proposed sweep optical sensors based on this principle. Cecrop seems to have abandonned this device Kinetic Sciences Paper describing the sensor Cecrop/Sannaedle Reflection touchless TST removed the prism by directly reading the fingerprint, so the finger does not touch anything (but still need a guide to get the right optical distance). Thales (formerly Thomson-CSF) also proposed the same, but with the use of a special powder to put on the finger. The BERC lab from Yonsei University (Korea) also developped a touchless sensor (2004). (2005) TBS launch a touchless sensor with the Surround Imaging. Transmission It is also possible to directly read the light transmitted by the finger. Mitsubishi proposes to read the fingerprint with a regular camera. NEC and Delsy (and Secom?) use a CMOS camera which is the size of the finger, with a fiber optic in-between, the light is coming from the edges in this case. Mitsumi NEC proposes the same but with a sweep sensor. Delsy NEC Mitsumi TFT optical / TFT optique Philips
