Fingerprinting for security
Reza R. Adhami, P. Meenen · IEEE Potentials · 2001
The authors describe how the biometric fingerprint scanning technology implemented in such scanners on the market today is adequate for the current tasks; but, for biometrics to become more widely accepted and implemented, improvement is necessary. They argue that fingerprint scanners need to be able to produce useful results under a wide range of situations. Scanning technology will remain a hot field for research until these problems are solved.
