Digital imaging is a process through which a picture is converted into a series of square electronic dots known as pixels. It is used to compare fingerprints and to enhance poor fingerprint images. The main limitation of digital imaging is that it is only as useful as the images it has to work with. If the images are poor or incomplete, enhancement procedures will not work.
