Abstract

An arrangement and method for optical recording of live skin areas of human autopodia and documents has a layer body comprising sensor layer with light-sensitive elements in regular pixel rasters, transparent protective layer above the sensor layer as placement surface for skin areas or documents is integrated in a mobile image capture device having at least one display for user guidance and an internal power supply. The layer body has an area light-emitting layer under the sensor layer to emit light in a first angle range for frustrated total internal reflection at the placement surface when autopodia are placed thereon and to emit in a second angle range to illuminate documents on the placement surface. A controlling and data processing unit handles preprocessing and reducing captured image data and an electronic interface for wireless coupling of the image capture device with a further electronic device for image data processing.
