A fingerprint sensing device having an image sensing device and configured to detecting fingerprint data of an input object. The image sensing device includes a plurality of lenses, and a plurality of sensing elements. The plurality of sensing elements includes a first sensing element has a field of view associated with a first lens of the plurality of lenses and laterally offset from a center of the first lens, and a second sensing element has a field of view associated with a second lens of the plurality of lens and laterally offset from a center of the second lens. Further, a processing system may be coupled to the image sensing device and operate the image sensing device to acquire fingerprint image to authenticate a user.
