Methods and systems for capturing biometric data
First Claim
1. A method for authenticating individuals comprising:
- capturing, by a communications device, biometric data from an individual after a displayed image of the biometric data is approximately aligned with a visual aid;
applying, by the communications device, a transform to the captured biometric data; and
generating, by the communications device, a biometric template from the transformed captured biometric data, the generated biometric template including biometric feature data that approximately aligns with biometric feature data included in a stored biometric template.

Abstract
A method of capturing biometric data is provided that includes activating a security application in a device. The security application is activated by an operator of the device and is configured to cause the device to display an outline image. Moreover, the method includes displaying the outline image in a stationary position on a display of the device, positioning desired biometric data proximate the device such that the desired biometric data appears as a biometric image on the device display, and monitoring the outline and biometric images shown on the device display. Furthermore, the method includes positioning the device and the desired biometric data to better align the outline and biometric images when the outline and biometric images do not align and capturing the desired biometric data from an individual after approximately aligning the outline image with the biometric image.
