Fingerprint board isn't fooled by phoney fingers
Parvus Corp is developing modular fingerprint identification hardware for embedded computer applications in co-operation with Fujitsu Microelectronics America (FMA).
Based around the Conexant Fusion 878A video decoder, this compact PC/104-Plus form factor board supports NTSC, Pal and Secam video formats for capture resolutions of up to 768 x 576 pixel and 30 frames per second.
It can also subsample, scale, crop, and clip images at various resolutions and frame rates.
Supporting four CVBS composite inputs or three composite video and one S-Video (Y/C) input source, the FG104 module is capable of simultaneously capturing and digitising single frames from up to four devices (such as video cameras, TVs, VCRs).
The board also accepts one audio input and includes 24 flexible digital I/O channels, which can be configured for digital video input and high-speed MPEG stream transport, or to input/output general board-level signals to/from the PC/104-Plus bus (for remote camera control).
Potential applications for the FG104 module include remote video surveillance, medical and industrial imaging, motion detection, and traffic monitoring.
It can be used to place video data directly into host memory for video capture applications, or into a target video display frame buffer for video overlay applications.
It can also be used as the multimedia hub of an Embedded PC system connecting multiple analogue and digital video sources to the CPU module via a single PCI connection.
