Fingerprint Biometrics Dominates This Week’s Top Stories

This week’s roundup of FindBiometrics’ top stories finds another diverse lineup in terms of topics. But there is one modality that pops up among this week’s most popular articles more than any other – fingerprint biometrics.

Three of this week’s top five revolve around fingerprint scanning. IDEX got some time in the spotlight with a blog post explaining the benefits of large-size fingerprint sensors, while Precise Biometrics announced a new licensing deal for its fingerprint algorithm software; and outside of the world of consumer-facing fingerprint scanning, there was also the news that an Illinois-based firm would perform biometric background checks for employees of a major particle accelerator lab:
