A biometric authentication device with infection preventive function to prevent infection of pathogens such as virus, bacteria and the like is described. The biometric authentication device with infection preventive function includes: an image acquisition unit configured to take an image of a finger of a person to be authenticated; an authentication processing unit configured to performs an authentication process by the use of biometric information contained in the taken image; and a contact prevention unit configured to prevent the finger of the person to be authenticated from coming in contact with the biometric authentication device by leading the finger of the person to be authenticated to a predetermined position in relation to the biometric authentication device by the tactile sensation.

An electronic device may include a display layer including light transmissive portions and non-transmissive portions. The electronic device may also include a palm biometric image sensor layer beneath the display layer and configured to sense an image of a user's palm positioned above the display layer based upon light reflected from the user's palm passing through the light transmissive portions of the display layer. The electronic device may further include a controller configured to capture image data from the user's palm in cooperation with the palm biometric image sensor layer and determine a surface distortion of the user's palm based upon the image data. The controller may also be configured to perform a biometric authentication of the user's palm based upon the image data and the surface distortion.

A robotic system is disclosed that include an articulated arm and a first perception system for inspecting an object, as well as a plurality of additional perception systems, each of which is arranged to be directed toward a common area in which an object may be positioned by the robotic arm such that a plurality of views within the common area may be obtained by the plurality of additional perception systems.

A fingerprint acquisition device comprising, a space for receiving a finger of a user, a light source configured to emit a illumination light illuminating the space, a camera configured to acquire an image of a fingerprint of the finger, when the finger is received in the space, and, a polarization system configured to polarize the illumination light before the illumination light reaches the space and after the illumination light has passed through the space, and to polarize an ambient light emanating from outside the device and propagating towards the camera, before the ambient light reaches the space, and to polarize the ambient light after the ambient light has passed through the space.

A method for identifying a user using an image of an object of the user, the method comprising: obtaining, by an optical sensor of a mobile device, the image of the object, wherein the object comprises a biometric characteristic of the user; providing the image to a neural network; processing the image by the neural network to identify-a position of the object and the object in the image; extracting, from the identified object, the biometric characteristic; storing the biometric characteristic in a storage devices and providing at least the biometric characteristic as input to an identification means to determine whether the biometric characteristic identifies the user.
