SecuGen Sensor Qualities 

 

 

Excellent Image Quality: 

Clear, distortion-free fingerprint images are generated using advanced, patent-

pending optical methods. Quality imaging yields better sampling for minutiae data extraction. 

 

Durability: 

Mechanical strength tests show resistance to impact, shock and scratches. 

 

Powerful Software: 

Precise, fast processing algorithm ensures efficiency and reliability. 

 

Ruggedness and Versatility: 

Solid engineering and superior materials allows for use under extreme conditions. 

 

Ergonomic Design: 

Compact, modular design for seamless integration into small devices, ease of use, and 

compatibility make it ideal for a broad range of applications. 

 

Low Cost: 

Products are developed to deliver high performance, zero maintenance at very affordable prices for 

general and industrial use. 

 

Advantages of SecuGen Sensors Over Other Optical Sensors 

 

  Unique optical method captures fine details, even from dry skin 

  Extremely low image-distortion 

  Reinforced materials 

  Wear resistance 

  Attractively small size 

  Ease of integration 

  Ready-to-use 

  Low cost through longer life and no maintenance requirements 

 

Advantages of SecuGen Sensors Over Semiconductor (Capacitive) Sensors 

 

  Non-metal, non-silicon components make it less susceptible to corrosion when exposed to salts, oil and moisture 

from skin and environment 

  Superior surface properties eliminate need for costly coating and processing procedures 

  Greater mechanical strength, wear-resistance, and durability 

  Broader range of applicability, especially for use in extreme conditions and climates 

  Immunity from electrostatic discharge 

  Low cost through longer life and no maintenance requirements 

 

Strengths of SecuGen Software and Algorithms 

 

  Unique image processing algorithm extracts fingerprint minutiae very accurately 

  High signal-to-noise ratio processing algorithm screens out false features 

  Highly efficient matching algorithm 

  Fast overall process of extraction, matching and verification 

  Encryption function to protect user privacy 

  Compatibility with existing desktop, laptop PCs interface computers 

  Ease in developing applications for various purposes
