Lumidigm V311 (V31x)

V311 Scanner is part of Lumidigm’s Venus Series or V-Series Sensors. V-Series sensors return high-quality images anytime, anywhere and on anyone. The causes for loss of surface features are many which include skin or environmental conditions, finger pressure, age or dirt. Such issues cause loss of image quality in conventional fingerprint sensors which capture prints at only surface levels. This leads to lower standards of performance in conventional scanners. Lumidigm’s Biometric Fingerprint Sensors on the other hand capture accurate, clear and high-quality images reading the surface and sub-surface fingerprints at the same time. This enables V311 to deliver clean and clear images consistently even in the absence of surface features. Thus V311 is able to avoid the twin pitfalls of Failure to Enroll (FTE) and Failure to Acquire(FTA) with ease.

V-Series sensors have in-built protection against fingerprint spoofing and fake fingerprints. This is possible due to its capability of scanning both the deep tissue data and surface data. The V311 is thus equipped with one of the most accurate spoof detection capability which results in highly secure and accurate fingerprint scanning.

Lumidigm’s multi-spectral images allow the fingerprints to be captured anywhere, anytime and in any environment. This makes V311 one of the most secure, reliable and convenient fingerprinting sensors in the industry.

V311 uses multiple spectrums of light to capture fingerprints at both the surface and sub-surface levels. The sub-surface fingerprints are located beneath the surface of the skin, in the capillary beds and other sub-dermal structures. Images captured from these sub-surface locations deliver high quality consistently. V311 thus effectively overcomes common problems with conventional imaging systems. It is thus able to avoid the environmental and demographic shortcomings and vulnerabilities present in traditional systems.

Lumidigm V311 provides protection from such spoofing done using published and unpublished methods where fake copies of fingerprints are used to authenticate imposters. Apart from multi-spectral imaging, the liveness detection feature is aided by top-of-the-line machine learning algorithms which keeps itself up-to-date (or learns from experience) of the newer threats arising regularly. It thus keeps itself abreast of newer spoofing means and mechanisms.

Spoofing of fingerprints using thin, colorless fakes is a big threat even in access controlled environments with trained attendants. Multiple methods and materials such as this are regularly used to deceive fingerprint identification systems. Using multi-spectral imaging’s sub-surface fingerprint scanning, spoofing can be prevented effectively.

V311 comes with patented liveness detection ability. This feature enables it to capture both the surface and subsurface fingerprints. This in turns enables V311 to distinguish between live skin and fingerprint spoofs or copies at high speed. It thus exceeds conventional or contact-oriented fingerprint sensors in performance and best liveness detection capability.
