What is a Fingerprint?
A fingerprint is an impression of the underside of the end of a finger or thumb. Your fingerprint is very unique, because no two people have the same pattern. A fingerprint is used to identify a person. There are two ways to identify a person by using the fingerprint method. The first way is by using your fingers and thumbs. The second method is by using palm prints and footprints, this method is used on infants.
How the Fingerprint method works?
Traditionally, impressions have been taken from a person using ink and paper, but in live-scan fingerprinting electronic images produced by a video scanner are converted by computer into binary codes, which can be more readily compared.
