Abstract:
A method and/or computer system generates a three-dimensional image of a fingerprint. One or more sensors detect a first user's finger being pressed against a first fingerprint scanner, where the first user's finger has a first user's fingerprint that comprises fingerprint ridges that form fingerprint grooves. A light source on a rotating platform transmits offset light against the first user's finger as the light source rotates on the rotating platform. A camera captures shadow images of shadows in the fingerprint grooves. One or more processors receive and analyze the shadow images in order to determine a shape and depth of the fingerprint grooves. The processor(s) generate a first digital fingerprint file that represents the shape and depth of the fingerprint grooves, and store the first digital fingerprint file for use in future biometric verification of the first user.

Claim (Index 13):
A computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer readable memories, and one or more computer readable storage mediums, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the stored program instructions comprising:\n program instructions to detect, using sensor readings from one or more sensors, a first user's finger being pressed against a first fingerprint scanner, wherein the first user's finger has a first user's fingerprint that comprises fingerprint ridges that form fingerprint grooves on the first user's fingerprint; program instructions to direct a light source on a rotating platform to transmit offset light against the first user's finger as the light source rotates on the rotating platform; program instructions to direct a camera to capture shadow images of shadows in the fingerprint grooves on the first user's fingerprint, wherein the shadows are created as the light source rotates on the rotating platform; program instructions to receive and analyze the shadow images in order to determine a shape and depth of the fingerprint grooves on the first user's fingerprint; program instructions to generate a first digital fingerprint file that represents the shape and depth of the fingerprint grooves on the first user's fingerprint; and program instructions to store the first digital fingerprint file for use in future biometric verification of the first user.
