Fingerprint detection apparatus

Apparatus fingerprint detection comprising: a detection array provided with a detection surface; a platform for fingerprint configured to move relative to the detection surface of the detection array and configured to supply a plurality of partial images of fingerprint of a fingerprint to the detection surface as the fingerprint is moved relative to the detection surface; and a processing device configured to construct a final image of a fingerprint from the plurality of partial images of the fingerprint supplied to the detection surface wherein the processing device is configured to track the movement of the platform for the fingerprint relative to the detection surface and construct an image of a fingerprint from the plurality of partial images of the fingerprint supplied to the detection surface based on the movement followed by the platform footprint fingerprint.
