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 19):
A fingerprint scanner comprising:\n a fingerprint scanner plate; a rotating platform aligned below the fingerprint scanner plate; a light source mounted on the rotating platform; a camera; one or more processors; and a memory device wherein the camera captures multiple images of shadows in grooves in a fingerprint of a user's finger that is pressed against the fingerprint scanner plate as the light source moves on the rotating platform, wherein the shadows are created as the light source rotates on the rotating platform, wherein the one or more processors analyze the multiple images of the shadows in the grooves in the fingerprint to determine a depth and shape of the grooves in the fingerprint, wherein the one or more processors generate an original digital fingerprint file that represents the shape and depth of the fingerprint grooves on the user's fingerprint, and wherein the one or more processors store the original digital fingerprint file for use in future biometric verification of the user.
