Abstract

Fingerprint formed through lifted papillary ridges is considered the best reference for personal identification. However, the currently available latent fingerprint (LFP) images often suffer from poor resolution, have a low degree of information, and require multifarious steps for identification. Herein, an individual Cloud-based fingerprint operation platform has been designed and fabricated to achieve high-definition LFPs analysis by using CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) as eikonogen. Moreover, since CsPbBr3 NCs have a special response to some fingerprint-associated amino acids, the proposed platform can be further used to detect metabolites on LFPs. Consequently, in virtue of Cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI), this study has demonstrated a champion platform to realize the whole LFP identification analysis. In a double-blind simulative crime game, the enhanced LFP images can be easily obtained and used to lock the suspect accurately within one second on a smartphone, which can help investigators track the criminal clue and handle cases efficiently.
