Abstract:
This paper discuses an analysis of the characteristics of fingerprint biometric scanners based on biometric standards compliance, taking into account of the features provided by manufacturers to conduct a comparative analysis of their physical characteristics, its certifications and standards supported. Because there is a huge fingerprint scanners variety, this paper studies only 30 devices from 13 different vendors using the characteristics obtained from the specification sheets for each device. A fingerprint device classification was performed based on the number of fingerprints that each device can capture, for example 4-4-2 devices or a single fingerprint capture and type of biometric standard compliant. As a result of this devices classification, 73% of them comply with at least one biometric standard or certification and 27% of them do not specify if they meet some kind of standard; however, they have the requirements to be considered for the acquisition of a fingerprint image.
