HID biometrics

HID Global’s Lumidigm biometrics solutions combine convenience with security by using patented multispectral imaging technology to make fingerprint authentication and identification more robust, more inclusive, and more reliable than other fingerprint sensor alternatives for mainstream applications including verifying identity at bank tellers and ATMs. The technology uses multiple light spectrums and advanced optical techniques to extract unique fingerprint characteristics from both the surface and subsurface of the skin, ensuring there is enough detail, even under less-than-optimal environmental conditions, to deliver reliable biometric authentication.
