Sensor A vs Sensor B

To further proceed with our research, we need to do a quick comparison and discuss the differences and similarities of two sensors.

Features of Sensor A




  • Utilizes Multispectral imaging
  • Flexible, powerful device outputs
  • Compact design
  • Pixel Resolution 500 dpi
  • State-of-the-art prevention technology
  • Expansive operating range

Features of Sensor B

• Utilizes optical fingerprint scanning technology
• Superior ESD resistance
• Small form factor
• Excellent image quality
• Encrypted fingerprint data
• Latent print rejection
• Counterfeit finger rejection
• Rotation invariant
• Rugged
• Works well with dry, moist, or rough
fingerprints
• Compatible with Windows® Vista,
XP Professional, 2000 and Windows
Server 2000, 2003


Key Specifications

• Pixel resolution: 512 dpi (average x
, y
over the scan area)
• Scan capture area: 14.6 mm (nom.
width at center) 18.1 mm (nom.
length)
• 8-bit grayscale (256 levels of gray)
• Reader size (approximate): 79 mm x
49 mm x 19 mm
• Compatible with USB 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0
(Full Speed) specifications
• Indoor, home and office use



EUReKA


Every year, Jacobs School of Engineering gives undergraduate students the opportunity to showcase their research at Engineering Undergraduate Research Konference & Assembly (EUReKA). Karan and I decided to participate in this annual event by making a poster about our ongoing project especially since this year EUReKA will coincide with the Corporate Affiliates Program (CAP) board meeting in the Fung Auditorium, which could be an opportunity to get job offers from companies' representives presented at the CAP meeting. So this is a great opportunity to describe our
research project, its implications, and results to-date.
