ABSTRACT:
A portable and lightweight fingerprint scanning apparatus which can optically scan and record fingerprint images in the field and transmit said images to a mobile unit for processing and subsequent wireless transmission to a central location for the purpose of providing immediate identity and background checks on the individual being fingerprinted. The apparatus of the present invention includes a fingerprint scanner for capturing a fingerprint image, a camera for capturing a photographic image of a person or a scene and means for transmitting the fingerprint image and the photographic image to a mobile unit. In the preferred embodiment the present invention includes a highly integrated camera with a superior signal to noise ratio and an infrared lighting source for illuminating a person or scene in low ambient light situations. An especially preferred embodiment of the present invention also provides the ability to preview the fingerprint and "mug shot" images on a display screen and to control transmission and processing of the fingerprint and "mug shot" images by the mobile unit using a terminal or keypad located on the portable fingerprint scanning apparatus.
