Abstract:This work proposes a new tactile sensing system for biometric authentication. The system operates based on the response of multiplexed optical fiber macro-bend sensors to plantar pressure. The setup contains a set of 6 in-series sensors installed in holes drilled in a foot-shaped slab of Polymethyl Methacrylate. Each sensor is a loop of standard single-mode telecommunication fiber with 2.5 mm radius, encapsulated with silicone elastomer. The instrumentation required for interrogation includes only a broadband … Show more
