The Surround Imager
TM
, an innovative multi-camera touchless device able to capture rolled-equivalent fingerprints, is here presented for the first time. Due to the lack of contact between the elastic skin of the finger and any rigid surface, the acquired images present no deformation. The multi-camera system acquires different finger views that are combined together to provide a 3D representation of the fingerprint. This new representation leads to a new definition of minutiae bringing new challenges in the field of fingerprint recognition.
