[RFC PATCH 1/3] iio: core: add support for fingerprint devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch introduces the IIO_FINGERPRINT channel which exposes fingerprint sensor
information needed by consumer, attributes for a fingerprint device and
a modifier for the IIO_FINGERPRINT channel. We detail these below.

In order to have a uniform interface, we add the following attributes:
height, width, bit depth, color scheme, orientation, resolution, sensitivity
threshold. These provide information about the image a scanner type device
like a fingerprint sensor produces. Depending on the device, some of these
could be adjusted. For example, setting a lower resolution or a higher
sensitivity threshold.

The sensitivity threshold controls the sensitivy of the finger detection
process. The SW6888[0] sensor and the MBF200[1] sensor have this option.

Add a modifier that enables us to communicate a status code after each scan.
The status codes for a fingerprint device are added in the types.h file.
Devices that are able to send out these status codes are UPEK Eikon 2 and
Validity VFS101 (see [2]). Thus, we have two channels: a modified one
representing the status code and the actual scanned fingerprint data channel.

This patch adds ABI documentation for the attributes a fingerprint
device would have. These attributes describe the image such a sensor
produces. Also, add ABI documentation for the fingerprint channel and
fingerprint status modified channel.

+Description:
+		Attributes that describe the output of a fingerprint device.
+		These values are device dependent and should be provided to the
+		upper layer for processing the image.
+
+		The height * width * bit_depth represents the total amount of
+		data the fingerprint channel stores and makes available in the
+		corresponding character device. Here height and width are
+		represented in pixels.
+
+		The colorscheme represents whether the image is black-on-white
+		or white-on-black. We associate the black-on-white with 0 and
+		white-on-black with 1. Similarly, we use 0 for a horizontal
+		orientation and 1 for a vertical orientation.
+
+		The scan_resolution (in ppmm) is a useful metric for processing
+		the fingerprint. The sensor usually has a set resolution, but as
+		with any other scanners this attribute could also be used as a
+		quality setting.
+
+		Lastly, a sensitivity threshold is a way of adjusting
+		sensitivity in the finger detection/scanning.
+		The userspace application should be able to set this value if
+		the device has this capability.
