Application: Method for verifying the authencity of a fingerprint (Patent ID: US20240070249A1)
The patent filed by Safran SA describes a biometric verification method for authenticating fingerprints by comparing geometric characteristics of reference and candidate fingerprints extracted from acquired images. The method involves determining geometric coherence between the two prints based on the comparison results and digital geometric configuration information, leading to a decision on the authenticity of the candidate fingerprint. The process includes extracting, comparing, and analyzing geometric features of the patterns, as well as determining positions and angles of specific points on the fingers to enhance accuracy.
Additionally, the patent includes claims related to comparing geometric configuration information, calculating angles of rotation, verifying positions and angles for coherence, and implementing multiple-finger modeling for verification. The method can be applied using images captured remotely or on-site for enrollment or security checks, with the possibility of acquiring images of multiple fingers for more comprehensive verification. The patent also covers a biometric verification device and a computer program for implementing the method, emphasizing the importance of both local and overall geometric characteristics in determining fingerprint authenticity.
