Abstract

A digital image of a surface of a check is received. A check scanning device captures the digital image as the check moves through the check scanning device. A fingerprint is impressed on the surface of the check. A computing system uses the digital image to determine an initial match score for the fingerprint image and an image quality metric to create an adjusted match score. An alert is presented based on the adjusted match score.
