Introduction to Fingerprint Recognition Technology: Principles of Fingerprint Recognition Using different sensor characteristics, the physical changes produced by the fingerprint can be converted into electrical signals, and the output electrical signals are converted into fingerprint images by signal processing. Technologies are divided into optical, capacitive, thermal and ultrasonic, etc.
I. Optical type : By using the difference of light reflection signal between ridge and valley
II. Capacitive : By using the difference of mutual capacitance value between ridge and valley
III. Thermal type : By using heat transfer difference between ridge and valley
