Abstract
Method and apparatus are provided for a fingerprint enrollment. In one embodiment, a method for enrolling a fingerprint image may include instructing, by a controller, a user to roll a finger across a sensing surface of a fingerprint enrollment apparatus, capturing, by an image sensor, a current fingerprint image of the finger, capturing, by the image sensor, a next fingerprint image as the finger rolls across the sensing surface of the fingerprint enrollment apparatus, where the next fingerprint image is contiguous to the current fingerprint image, stitching, by the controller, the next fingerprint image to the current fingerprint image to form a stitched fingerprint image, determining, by the controller, whether the stitched fingerprint image meets fingerprint enrollment criteria, and storing, in a memory, the stitched fingerprint image in response to the stitched fingerprint image meeting the fingerprint enrollment criteria.
