Abstract
A method of operating a personal verification system includes acquiring with a sensor a first image of a first biometric feature, removing background noise associated with the sensor from the image, and storing at least a portion of the first image. The method also includes acquiring with the sensor a second image of a second biometric feature and comparing at least a portion of the second image with the first image. If the second image is substantially different from the first image, the second image is displayed.
