Abstract
A method of a fingerprint sensing system arranged in a smartcard configured to acquire fingerprint data of a user with a fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication, and a fingerprint sensing system performing the method. The method comprises detecting a finger of the user contacting a sensing area of the fingerprint sensor, initializing the fingerprint sensor with a predetermined sensor setting, acquiring a calibration sub-image which is confined in size to a subarea of the sensing area, determining whether or not a quality criterion is met for the acquired calibration sub-image, and if so acquiring one or more further sub-images confined in size to a subarea of the sensing area during a time period when the smartcard is not engaged in waiting time extension request signalling with a card reader, and combining a plurality of the acquired further sub-images into a representation of a fingerprint of the user.
