Abstract :
This paper presents an evaluation of the main differences between fingerprints obtained from a low cost inkless sensor and from the classical ink-and-roll fingerprint images used in police applications. Our experiments reveal that although the image size and quality are quite different, it is possible to introduce the inkless fingerprint into the police database and to obtain a correct identification. This shows there is room for proposing a remote fingerprint identification from a police car, using the GSM mobile telephone network.
