User Interface:
The user interface provides mechanisms for a user to indicate his/her
identity and input his/her fingerprints into the system.
System database:
The system database consists of a collection of records, each of which
corresponds to an authorized person that has access to the system.
Enrollment Module:
The task of enrollment module is to enroll persons and their fingerprints
into the system database.
Authentication Module:
Each record contains the following fields which are used for
authentication purpose:
1. User name of the person
2. Minutiae templates of the person’s fingerprint
3. Other profile information
Hardware Architecture
A variety of sensor types – optical, capacitive, ultrasound and thermal
are used for collecting the digital image of fingerprint surface. Optical
sensors take an image of the fingerprint, and are the most commonly
used sensors today.
The capacitive sensor determines each pixel value based on the
capacitance measured, which is made possible because an area of
air(valley) has significantly less capacitance than an area of
finger(friction ridged skin).
Other fingerprint sensors capture images by employing high frequency
ultrasound or optical devices that use prisms to detect the change in light
reflectance related to the fingerprint.
Thermal scanners require a swipe of a finger across a surface to measure
the difference in temperature over time to create a digital image.
We shall now move on to the details of hardware we will be employing:
Interfacing:
When this module is interfaced to the microcontroller (8051), we will
be using it in user mode. In this mode we will be verifying the scanned
images with the stored images. When coming to our application the
images of the students will be stored in the module with a unique id. To
register their attendance the students have to scan their image which is
then verified with the image present in fingerprint module and their
attendance is registered for that day.
