FIELD: image identifying methods for fingerprinting studies. SUBSTANCE: device used for fingerprinting studies with aid of touch-sensitive elements ordered in raster has each raster element incorporating processor element apart from touch-sensitive one which enables concurrent processing of image. Separate processor element has at least one memory device for memorizing touch-sensitive element measurement data and logic circuit that functions to determine true value of pixel basing on this data and on analog values found by adjacent raster elements and to enter it in memory device. EFFECT: reduced power requirement and fingerprinting equipment size; enhanced resolving power. 7 cl, 16 dwg
