Simultaneous finger/face data collection to provide multi-modal biometric identification

A system comprising:

• at least one hardware processor;
• and
• one or more software modules that are configured to, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,
• load a touchless finger/face application onto user system;
• receive enrollment information through the touchless finger/face application;
• prompt a user to capture four-finger fingerprint image from a right and/or left;
• capture the finger prints using a camera included with the user system;
• simultaneously deploy face detection to sense presence of a user face;
• once a face is detected, capture face images as a second biometric modality;
• render the fingerprints into high contrast finger images;
• and
• generate a biometric record containing the rendered fingerprints face images.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• load a touchless finger/face application onto user system;
• receive enrollment information through the touchless finger/face application;
• prompt a user to capture four-finger fingerprint image from a right and/or left;
• capture the finger prints using a camera included with the user system;
• simultaneously deploy face detection to sense presence of a user face;
• once a face is detected, capture face images as a second biometric modality;
• render the fingerprints into high contrast finger images;
• and
• generate a biometric record containing the rendered fingerprints face images.
