Day 1 @ 13:20
Contactless 3D fingerprint scanning
As biometric authentication becomes increasingly integrated into everyday technology, fingerprint recognition remains a cornerstone due to its reliability and uniqueness. This talk explores the advancements and comparative analysis of contactless 3D fingerprint scanning versus traditional contact-based scanning and smartphone-based 2D contactless scanning. We will discuss the fundamental differences in data acquisition, accuracy, hygiene and user experience among the three modalities. Special focus will be placed on how 3D contactless methods capture depth and fine ridge structure, enabling robust recognition even in challenging scenarios. Through this comparative lens, the talk aims to outline the potential and practical considerations for deploying contactless 3D fingerprint recognition in real-world applications.
