Detection of latent fingerprint using optical technique by Seah, Leong Keey., Ong, Lin Seng., Murukeshan, Vadakke Matham.

“…Often, when fingerprints deposited on strongly fluorescing backgrounds, their separation offer a challenging problem to fingerprint experts.Experiments were carried out for imaging the latent fingerprints, which are deposited on strongly fluorescing backgrounds, even when background fluorescence lifetime is longer than that of fingerprint fluorescence. Imaging of two years old fingerprints were also carried out with improved contrast. …”
