HTTP:: Fingerprint Technology Can Identify Even Ravaged Prints
--------
As any construction-site foreman will tell you, fingerprint-recognition hardware installed at these locations oftentimes fails to provide a correct identification of the worker. This happens because their fingers, especially their thumbs, are usually damaged and bruised from all the intense labor. Scientists at the University of Warwick have recently developed a new system for detecting fingerprints that is able to recognize the individual signature of partial, distorted, scratched, smudged, or otherwise warped prints. The innovation could make the job of authorities a lot easier too, AlphaGalileo reports. The fact that the system can be used on construction sites is only a convenient side-use for the building industry. The WU researchers created the device in hopes of allowing forensics experts to analyze badly damaged fingerprints within a few seconds, which would enable authorities to make use of the limited time-frame they had at their disposal for catching a crook as!
soon as possible more efficiently. The method has recently scored top marks in two very difficult assessment tests. The technical trials are the most technically challenging in the world. “This is the first time I have seen a biometrics system that works reliably with the type of poor quality fingerprints we see routin...
