ABSTRACT:
In a fingerprint identification system, a fingerprint sensor104of a registration apparatus2reads a fingerprint in a larger region, whereas a fingerprint sensor30of an identification apparatus4,which is smaller in size, reads a fingerprint in a smaller region. When registering a fingerprint, the fingerprint sensor104of the registration apparatus2reads a fingerprint, and a fingerprint registration circuit14generates binary image data based on the fingerprint which has been read. The binary image data is transferred to the identification apparatus4and stored in an image memory16of the identification apparatus4.When identifying a fingerprint, the fingerprint sensor30of the identification apparatus4reads a fingerprint, and a fingerprint identification circuit32generates binary image data based on the fingerprint which has been read. Then, the binary image data is compared against the binary image data stored in the image memory16.
