Are you looking for the best performance in fingerprint authentication?
Then Biometrix products are the answer to your needs either for verifying (1:1) or for identifying (1:n) applications.
The combination of Biometrix’s proprietary state-of-the-art technologies with carefully selected third party developments, gives as a result the most cost-effective solutions in the current access control market.
What follows is a brief description of the components of such combination:
1. E-field Fingerprint Sensors
All Biometrix products use “e-field” (electric field) scanners of the number one fingerprint sensor provider: AuthenTec Inc.
AuthenTec uses its TruePrint Technology ™ to couple a very small RF signal to the subdermal layer of the skin (where the fingerprints are originated). This signal follows the ridges and valleys of the “true” fingerprint on the “live” layer of the skin; the subtle variations in this signal field are sensed and used to generate an accurate image of the fingerprint.
The quality of the images obtained with this technology and the extra benefits of not being affected by dirty fingers or environmental contamination, and its resistant surface coating (much harder than glass), give AuthenTec’s “e-field” sensors a clear advantage over the rest of the existing technologies, particularly under real world conditions.
More details about AuthenTec’s “e-field” fingerprint sensors and TruePrint Technology® can be found at: www.biometrix.net/technology.php
2. Image Enhancement
Alufinger, Biometrix’s patent pending finger holder, enhances the quality of the images obtained by e-field sensors. Made of high conductive aluminum, Alufinger couples with AuthenTec sensor circuits to extend the contact area between the chip and the user’s finger. The enlargement of the contact area enhances the signal generated by the e-field sensor, which in turn gets an outstanding quality of the fingerprint image.
3. Image Preprocessing
Biometrix proprietary method, FlexImage, analyses and discards unreliable images, normally coming from non-stabilized fingers or from fingerprints which -due to specific characteristics- need to be rescanned by the sensor to enhance contrast levels. As soon as a stable image is obtained, FlexImage sends it to the matching algorithm to be processed. This procedure takes a fraction of a second and significantly increases the speed and accuracy of the authentication process.
4. Finger Placement
Alufinger has successfully solved one of the most common problems in the biometrics industry: finger misplacement. Every time a Biometrix product is used, Alufinger guides the user to place his/her finger in the right position decreasing false rejection rates originated from finger misplacements.

6. Different Matchers for Different Applications
Biometrix offers different matching systems depending on the application:
• 1:1 user verification1 by assigning a unique PIN for each user
• 1:300 users identification1 without using an extra PIN
• 1:2,500 users identification1 without using an extra PIN
• 1:n users authentication by using a personal PIN (i.e. user’s birth date –month, day, month and day- or the last three digit of the user’s SSN, etc.). In this case you can enroll a maximum of 300 users for each personal PIN.
Example: if users’ birth date -month and day- is used as a PIN (i.e. “1210” for a user born on the Tenth of December), near 100,000 users can be enrolled (365 times 30, assuming a linear distribution).
