- Figure 10 is a simplified block diagram of an exemplary electrical control -system for the subject imaging apparatus. Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
- Figure 1 shows an exemplary application of the subject fingerprinting imaging apparatus in a fingerprint verification terminal, generally designated by the numeral 12.
- Terminal 12 includes a housing 14 which encloses the subject imaging apparatus. Housing 14 has an inclined front panel (not designated) on which a -- keyboard 16 and a display 13 are mounted. The front panel further includes a recess in which an optical element 20 of the subject imaging apparatus is mounted.
- Terminal 12 is used both for verification and enrollment. In both instances, the individual to be either enrolled or verified places a finger 82 or thumb in the recess defined by optical element 20.
- Sensing circuitry detects the presence of the digit on the element which causes a series of prompting messages to be shown on display 18. If the " individual has been previously enrolled, the individual is requested to enter his/her personal identification number, name, or other form of identification. The finger -is then scanned utilizing the subject imaging apparatus to provide an image which corresponds to the individual's fingerprint. Next, a comparison between the image and a stored image for the individual is performed. If the comparison is positive, the individual is given physical acce'ss to the facility or data access.
- the enrollment procedure is similar to the verification procedure in that the individual's finger is scanned and data corresponsing to the fingerprint image is stored in a non-volatile memory.
- identification information such as the individual's name or personal identification number, is stored using ' keyboard 16.
- Security personnel are typicall present during the enrollment procedure to verify the individual's identity. Once the individual has been enrolled, physical access or- data access may be obtained by the individual utilizing the previously- described verification procedure, such procedure not requiring the presence of security personnel.
- Optical element 20 is fabricated from a transparent material, such as acrylic plastic, having a known index of refraction.
- the body of element 20 is in the form of cylinder having a longitudinal or primary axis 86.
- a half-section of the cylinder defined by a bisecting plane which lies on axis 86 is removed to form a recess for receiving finger 82.
- the inner surface 80 of element 20 defines an arcuate section having a constant radius R with respect to axis 86.
- the outer surface 84 of the element defines a second arcuate section having a constant radius R_ with respect to axis 86.
- Optical element 20 further includes a mounting section 88, generally transverse to axis 86, which is an integral part of the main half cylinder section.
- Mounting section 88 is located at the far end of element 20 and is used to rigidly secure the- element to the frame of the subject apparatus.
- Mounting section 88 could also be in the form of a disc which is secured to the main body section. In that event, the main body section could be fabricated from a plastic cylinder.
- the imaging apparatus further includes a carriage 22 which is rotatable about axis 86.
- Carriage 22 carries an elongated light source, generally designated by the numeral 26.
- the carriage also supports first and second mirrors 32 and 34, respectively, a lens assembly 36 and a linear photo-diode array 38.
- Carriage 22 is rotated about axis 86 by a stepper motor 24, as will be described subsequently.
- Light source 26 which is positioned adjacent surface 84 of the optical element, has a principle axis which is parallel with axis 86.
- Light source 26 includes a base 30 which is typically one and one-half inches in length and a translucent light diffuser 28 which is secured to the base.
- An array of small incadescent bulbs is mounted in base 30 * so as to provide a relatively uniform diffused source of light along the length of the base.
- Mirror 32 is a first surface-type mirror wherein the reflecting surface is disposed on the outer surface of the mirror. Mirror 32 is at a 45° angle with respect to light source 26 so as to receive light reflected from optical element 20, as will subsequently be described.
- Photo-diode array 38 is secured on carriage 22 with the major axis of the linear array being parallel with respect to axis 86.
- Second mirror 34 which is also a first surface-type mirror, is positioned on carriage 22 to receive light through the lens assembly 36 from mirror 32 and reflect it to the surface of array 38.
- mirrors -32 and 34 have the same radial position with respect to axis 86, with the longitudinal axis of mirror 34 being 45° with respect to axis 86.
- Photo-diode array 38 includes a linear array of 512 photo-diodes spaced on 0.001 inch centers to form an array approximately 0.50 inches in length.
- the diodes and associated circuitry are preferably assembled in a single package.
- An array marketed by EG&G Reticon of Sunnyvale, California under the designation "RL512G” has been found suitable for the present application. Other types of photosensitive devices could be used for this purpose.
- Lens assembly 36 which is secured on carriage 22 between mirrors 32 and 34, may include a single lens, as depicted, or a plurality of lenses.
- Lens assembly 36 is configured to focus light originating from surface 80 of the optical element onto the surface of diode array 38. Assembly 36 also serves to de-magnify the image reflected by mirror 32 so that the approximately one inch image at surface 80 is reduced to a one-half inch image on the surface of photo-diode array 38 to conform to the length of the array.
- the apparatus includes a rigid metal frame 40, as can best be seen in Figure 4, which is secured to a base plate 60 on three vertical legs 42 by way of screws.
- Frame 40 includes downward projecting vertical forward and rear sections (not designated) connected together by a horizontal plate, with legs 42 being connected to the plate.
- frame 40 is machined from a single aluminum casting to form an integral unit, although other materials may be used.
- Optical element 20 is rigidly secured to the vertical forward section of frame 40 by way of a pair of screws 66 (Figure 5). Screws 66 extend through counter-sunk bores (not designated) located in the mounting section 88 of the element and into corresponding threaded bores 90 located in the vertical front section of frame 40. Optical element 20 is positioned on frame 40 such that the longitudinal axis of the element is coaxial with the primary axis 86 of -8- the frame. Optical element 20 preferably includes a cutout 15 in the forward portion thereof ( Figure 5) to receive a corresponding flange formed in housing 14 so as to effect a seal. Stepper motor 24 is rigidly secured to the vertical back section of frame 40 by a pair of screws 52.
- Rotatable carriage 22 is hung below the top plate of frame 40 between the front and rear, vertical sections.
- Carriage 22 is provided with a longitudinal bore which receives a mounting shaft 62 ( Figure 3).
- Shaft 62 is rigidly secured to carriage 22 by a locking pin (not shown) which extends through the carriage and into the shaft.
- the forward end of shaft 62 is mounted in a bore in the front vertical frame section on bearing 68.
- the rear end of shaft 62, which is coaxial with axis 86, is connected to the drive shaft of motor 24 ' by way of a clamp 58.
- a tensioning spring 54 extends around mounting shaft 62, with one end of spring 54 being secured to carriage 22 and the remaining end being positioned against the horizontal plate of frame 40 ( Figure 4).
- Spring 54 provides a tension force to carriage 22 which eliminates backlash caused by the internal stepper motor 24 gear train.
- Carriage 22 includes a pair of elongated mounting members 22a and 22b which extend below the forward section of frame 40 and which are both generally parallel with primary axis 86.
- Mounting member 22b ( Figure 4) has a T cross-section and serves to support mirror 32 adj * acent optical element 20.
- a mounting member 78 is provided for securing the mirror to the elongated member.
- Elongated member 22a is used to support light source 26 adjacent to the optical element. As can perhaps best be seen in Figure 6, light source 26 and mirror 32 supported by the elongated members of the carriage are radially spaced _ apart with respect to the primary axis by approximately 45'-.
- a mounting block 44 which is fastened to the underside of rotating carriage 22, carries lens assembly 36, mirror 34, and photo-diode array 38.
- Block 44 is secured to carriage 22 by three screws 92 which extend through elongated openings 46 ( Figures 3 and 5) in the carriage. The openings are parallel with primary axis 86 so that the longitudinal position of . the block along axis 86 may be changed by loosening screws 92, repositioning block 44 and retightening the screws.
- block 44 is provided with a bore which receives a lsns assembly mounting cylinder 48 in which lens assembly 36 is mounted. Cylinder 48 is slideably mounted within the bore and is secured in place by a set screw 50. Block 44 also supports mirror 34 at a 45 degree angle with respect to axis 86. In addition, photo-diode array 38 is secured to block 44 with the array plane being parallel with the primary axis.
- the length of the optical path between photo-diode array 38 and lens 36 is adjusted by loosening set screw 50 and sliding cylinder 48 within the mounting block bore.
- the length of the optical path between the lens assembly and surface 80 of optical element 20 is adjusted by using screws 92 to change the position of mounting block 44 on carriage 22.
- the two optical paths are adjusted so that the image on surface 80 is- focused on the array.
- the paths are selected to provide the desired two-to-one reduction.
- Light source 26 is shown at a typical position during the imaginq scan.
- Line 94 represents an exemplary light ray emitted from source 26 which extends down the length of optical element 20, along primary axis 86, for approximately one inch.
- the amount of refraction is a function of the -index of refraction of the optical element medium and the angle of incidence of the ray.
- the light ray will continue through the optical element until it reaches surface 80 of the element as represented by line 96.
- ray 96 strikes a portion of the element 20 intermediate two adjacent skin ridges of finger 82.
- the angle of light source 26 and surface 80 is maintained at a constant value throughout ,the image scan so that the angle of incidence 0 at surface 80 remains constant.
- There is a critical angle of incidence where all light is reflected from surface 80 back through the optical element. When the medium opposite the surface is air, the critical angle is typically approximately 45°.
- Angle 0 is set to a value which is somewhat greater than the critical angle so that light striking surface 80 between skin ridges will be reflected, as represented by line 98.
- reflected light ray 98 will be " transmitted through the optical element until it - 1 1 - reaches outer surface 84 of the element. As indicated by line 100, the ray will then be received and reflected by mirror 32 to the diode array.
- line 96' represents a light ray which was produced somewhat earlier during the image scan.
- Ray 96' strikes a skin ridge at angle 0, such ridge having an index of refraction considerably greater than air. Because of the increase of the index of refraction, the total internal reflection is frustrated and most of the incident light is absorbed in finger 82. Some of the incident light is also reflected by the ridge and is dispersed in several directions as represented by lines 98'. Although some of the reflected light reaches diode array 38, the intensity of the light is significantly less than light reflected from surface 80 in regions adjacent the valleys located between the ridges.
- the subject imaging apparatus further includes a carriage home position detector 59 which is secured to the rear vertical section of frame 40 immediately below clamp 58.
- Detector 59 includes a light source (not .. shown) which directs light towards clamp 58 and a photo-detector (not shown) which receives light reflected from the clamp.
- the clamp is provided with adjacent reflective and non-reflective surfaces with the juncture of the surfaces being located immediately above detector 59 when the carriage is rotated to the home position, as will be subsequently described.
- the output of the photo-detector will change abruptly when the carriage reaches the home position.
- stepper motor 24 is driven by a motor control as represented by block 70.
- the motor control produces conventional drive pulses which causes motor 24 to advance in either direction at controllable rates.
- the rate of drive is a function of -1 2- the frequency of the pulses and the internal stepper- motor gearing arrangement.
- Diode array 38 is controlled by array control circuitry, represented by block 72, which receives clock signals from a clock represented by block 74.
- Array control 72 provides the various conventional control signals to the array including clock signals, refresh signals, and recharge signals.
- the clock signals cause serial data associated with each diode of the array to be transferred to process circuitry as . represented by block 76.
- the start signals are produced typically every 6 miliseconds, a time consistent with the time required to read out data for each of the 512 diodes in the array.
- the start signal is also used by motor control 70 to drive stepper motor 24.
- Figure 6 illustrates two exemplary positions of light source 26 and mirror 32.
- the solid line drawings represent the position of the light source and mirror at the end of the scan. The location of the source and mirror at the beginning of the scan are shown in phantom lines.
- light source 26 Prior to the initiation of the scan sequence, light source 26 is located at the home position (not depicted) intermediate the scan start and scan stop positions where incident ray 96.strikes generally the central portion of surface 80 of the optical element.
- incident ray 96.strikes generally the central portion of surface 80 of the optical element.
- process unit 76 determines that all diodes are illuminated, thereby indicating that a finger is not positioned in the optical element.
- process unit 76 determines that all diodes are illuminated, thereby indicating that a finger is not positioned in the optical element.
- the skin ridges of the finger will cause at least some of the light to be absorbed or diffused as indicated by light rays 98' of " Figure 9. At least some of the diodes will no longer receive the maximum amount of light.
- process unit 76 will detect that a finger is present and will either command motor control 70 to begin an imaging sequence or will cause a prompting message to be shown on display 18.
- Motor control 70 will then provide stepper motor 24 with step pulses derived from the start signals produced by array control 72.
- the step pulses will cause carriage 22 to be driven in a clockwise direction towards the scan start position as show ⁇ , in phantom in Figure 6.
- light from the source 26 is incident at a point on inner surface 80 of the optical element approximately 45° from vertical.
- data read from array 38 is disregarded.
- Motor control 70 then causes motor 24 to drive carriage 22 in a counterclockwise direction to effect a scan.
- the motor is stepped once every 6 miliseconds so that the entire contents of photo-diode array 38 can be read out once every step.
- the data from the array is then either stored in a memory for later processing or is processed in real times by process unit 76, as required.
- the carriage is advanced in the counterclockwise direction until the carriage reaches the scan stop position where the light from source 26 strikes the inner surface 80 of the optical element at approximately 45° from vertical, as shown in solid lines in Figure 6. Thus, the total scan angle is approximately 90°.
- Motor control 70 then causes the carriage to be driven back towards the home position. When the carriage reaches the home position, detector 59 commands motor control 70 ' to stop the motor, thereby terminating the imaging sequence.
- the data read from diode array 38 is processed, as required, to complete a verification or enrollment procedure.
- Linear diode array 32 has 512 diodes which sample light along the longitudinal axis of the optical element. Since the length of image is approximately one inch, data is provided for producing pixels spaced apart along the longitudinal axis approximately 0.002 inches. This provides more than adequate resolution since the skin ridges are typically spaced 0.020 inches apart. In order to provide approximately the same resolution in the perpendicular axis, each step of motor 24 should cause the incident light beam 96 to * advance approximately 0.002 inches along inner surface 80 of the optical element. The magnitude of the advance is a function of the angular rotation of motor 24 per step and the inner radius R of the optical element.
- imaging data will be provided to produce a 512 by 450 pixel map.
- Each pixel has one bit of resolution (black/white), although greater resolution could be provided if desired to provide a gray scale.
- Mirror 3-2 is preferably radially disposed about axis 86 to receive light reflected off of surface 80 in the region intermediate the skin ridges, as indicated in Figures 8 and 9.
- the photo- diode array receives a minimum amount of light.
- the array receives light which is reflected and diffused by the finger in several directions as represented by rays 98' of Figure 9.
- the image produced would be -the " negative image of that produced utilizing the preferred approach.
- the difference in light intensity between a ridge and a valley using the alternative approach would be less than using.the preferred approach, therefore the signal-to-noise ratio would be somewhat inferior.
- the area of the finger scanned could also be altered provided sufficient data is acquired to produce a reliable indentification.
- the 90 degree scan ' angle could be reduced or increased somewhat.
- certain dimensions of optical element 20, including the thickness (R -R ) ' of the element could be altered without seriously reducing the effectiveness of the subject imaging apparatus.
- the main body of element 20 is in the form of a half cylinder, the body could be something greater or less than a half cylinder. It is preferable that the angle spanned by surfaces 80 and 84 of the optical element .be at least 60° to insure that a sufficient portion of the finger is scanned.
- the minimum angle provides a recess in the element of sufficient depth so that the finger will be automatically guided to the desired position on the element.
- the angle should preferably not exceed approximately 260° since the area in the element for receiving the finger will be more similar to an opening or bore rather than a recess. It is believed that for psychological reasons, individuals are frequently uncomfortable -inserting a finger in an opening rather than placing the finger on an arcuate surface.
