Methods and systems for capturing biometric data
First Claim
1. A method for authenticating users comprising:
- generating, using a processor, an authentication image from biometric data captured from a user and aligning the authentication image with an enrollment image;
determining a region of agreement; and
comparing authentication image biometric features within the region of agreement against enrollment image biometric features within the region of agreement to verify the user.

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.

9. A computer program recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium included in a computing device for authenticating users, the computer program being comprised of instructions, which when read and executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
generate an authentication image from biometric data captured from a user and align the authentication image with an enrollment image; determine a region of agreement; and compare authentication image biometric features within the region of agreement against enrollment image biometric features within the region of agreement to verify the user. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
