SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A REPRESENTATION OF VARIATIONS IN ELEVATION OF FRICTION RIDGES IN A FRICTION RIDGE PATTERN

A representation of variations in elevation of friction ridges in a friction ridge pattern of a subject may be generated. A sequence of images captured over a time period may be obtained. Individual images in the sequence of images may indicate areas of engagement between an imaging surface and the friction ridge pattern of the subject when the individual images are captured. Temporal information may be obtained for the individual images. The temporal information for the individual images may be used to aggregate the individual images in the sequence of images into an aggregated representation of the friction ridge pattern. The aggregation may be accomplished such that the aggregated representation depicts the areas of engagement of the friction ridge pattern with the imaging surface at different elevations of the friction ridge pattern.
