News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: "Many devices and methods for fingerprint capture are avail able on the market. Most require a person to make physical contact with a hardwa re device in order for the person's fingerprint image to be captured. Some techn iques are available for contactless fingerprint capture. However, many of these techniques have difficulty accurately measuring distance or scale of fingerprint images, which is important for database comparison. Many such devices and metho ds also use image processing algorithms that have difficulty transforming and pr ocessing optical images of fingerprints into images that accurately represent mi nutiae and other features that are important for database comparison and forensi c examination, particularly in the presence of image distortion and varied light ing conditions.
