BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY- HOW FINGERPRINT SCANNERS WORK?
Biometric systems can seem complicated, but they all use the same three steps:
Enrollment: The first time you use a biometric system, it records basic information about you, like your name or an identification number it this case your fingerprint. It then captures an image or recording of your specific trait.
Storage: Contrary to what you may see in movies, most systems don't store the complete image or recording. They instead analyze your trait and translate it into a code or graph.
Comparison: The next time you use the system, it compares the trait you present to the information on file. Then, it either accepts or rejects that you are who you claim to be.
ATRD Biometric immobiliser Systems also use the same three components:
A Sensor that detects the characteristic being used for identification.
A Computer that reads and stores the information.
Software that analyzes the characteristic, translates it into a graph or code and performs the actual comparisons to allow the system to enable or disable the immobiliser.
