Who invented fingerprint scanner?
In 1963, Mitchell Trauring of Hughes Research Lab, published the first paper “Automatic Comparison of Fingerprint Ridge Patterns,” on automated personal identification. In 1975, the FBI began funding the development of scanners and extracting technology. It took decades to develop methods of digital file compression that maintained image quality, classification, extraction of elements and matching (M40 algorithm). In 1994, the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) competition was held. Lockheed Martin was selected to build the IAFIS. The system was to address digital fingerprint acquisition, ridge characteristic extraction and ridge characteristic pattern matching. Aside from the development of software applications that read fingerprints or other permanent traits, the first use of cataloguing of fingerprints was by Juan Vucetich in 1891 in Argentina. Later, criminal identification based on physical elements (anthropometry) by Aphonse Bertillon, of France, improved the practice. Later, in the mid-1800s, Francis Galton created a fingerprint classification system. The Henry Classification system was used from the late 1800s to sort fingerprints by physiological characteristics. Named for Sir Edward Henry, it was developed in British India with Hem Chandra Bose and Azizul Haque.

Sir Alec John Jeffreys, (born 9 January 1950 at Oxford in Oxfords hire) is a British geneticist, who developed techniques for DNA fingerprinting and DNA profiling which are now used all over the world in forensic science to assist police detective work and also to resolve paternity and immigration disputes. He is a professor of genetics at the University of Leicester, and he became an honorary freeman of the City of Leicester on 26 November 1992. In 1994, he was knighted by her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, for Services to Science and Technology.
