Lanthanide Oxide Nanoparticles for Fumeless Latent Fingerprint Detection and Image Processing
Abstract
This project used lanthanide oxide nanoparticles to specifically bind to fingerprint residue and provide for fluorescence detection under broadband ultraviolet illumination to develop latent prints without traditional fuming techniques. The objective is to create the ability to eliminate the fuming process for latent fingerprint detection, allowing for “real-time” in-field processing capability. The capability is taking the current five step fingerprint detection process down to three simple steps: apply nanoparticles (spray), image, and process. By eliminating the need for a special fuming chamber, the fingerprint detection process can be made more efficient and effective.
