First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device to register a biometric object for viewing, the device comprising:
- a guide for aligning the biometric object to view multiple surface regions of the object in a substantially non-distorted state, the guide including multiple rails in which at least a portion of the object is aligned when resting therein, each rail of the guide including a window for viewing a corresponding surface region of the object; and
a base to which each of the multiple rails is movably attached, the base including at least one window for viewing a surface pattern on the object.

Abstract
A guide can provide proper registration of an object such as a hand above a scanner device for imaging. The guide can include windows or slits so that the scanner device can produce an image such as a finger or palm in a natural state rather than being pressed against, for example, a flat surface such as glass. Thus, registration of a palm and/or a finger in the guide can be used to produce non-distorted high quality images of biometric patterns in their natural 3-dimensional state.
