Fingerprint sensors

7 July 2010 Computer/Embedded Technology

Lumidigm has released its Mercury series of fingerprint sensors, complementing the successful Lumidigm Venus sensors in a product portfolio that provides multispectral imaging capabilities.

Multispectral imaging from Lumidigm is a biometric technology that is said to virtually eliminate common real-world performance problems experienced with conventional fingerprint sensors. Robust and reliable, multispectral imaging allows the sensors to capture images quickly, on all people, in all environmental conditions. The Mercury sensors incorporate this technology into a new platform with a new form factor that supports speedy transactions with single-touch performance.

Mercury sensors return high-contrast, 500 dpi fingerprint images and offer both USB and RS232 connectivity. They have multiple modes of operation including image output, template output, verification (1:1) and identification (1:N). The 1:N feature is fully interoperable with 1:1 ANSI 378 standard templates. Two Mercury fingerprint sensors are currently available. The M300 is an easy-to-integrate OEM module designed for high-performance, high-throughput applications, while the M301 is a desktop sensor for shared workstation applications. Both support industry interoperability standards including MINEX, ANSI 378 and ANSI 381.
