Indian-American Scientist Anil Jain developed first 3D model of human fingerprint
An Indian-American scientist has built the first 3-D model of a human fingerprint called Phantom on 06 March 2014.That could boost the accuracy of fingerprint-matching systems and improve security technology. The 3-D finger surface, complete with all the ridges and valleys that make up the human fingerprint, is made using a 3-D printer.
- Tools like this would help improve the overall accuracy of fingerprint-matching systems, which eventually leads to better security in applications ranging from law enforcement to mobile phone unlock.
- Imaging phantoms are common in the world of medical imaging. For example, to make sure anMRI machine or a CT scanner is working properly, it needs to first image an object of known dimensions and material properties.
- In health care, a 3-D heart or kidney can be created. Because the dimensions are known, they can be put into a scanner and the imaging system can be calibrated
- In this case, the ultimate goal is to have a precise fingerprint model with known properties and features that can be used to calibrate existing technology used to match fingerprints.
