1. A method of capturing biometric data for authenticating an individual, said method comprising: capturing desired biometric data from an individual with a device during enrollment in an authentication system; determining an enrollment region of interest for the captured biometric data, and generating an outline image from the captured biometric data; transmitting the captured biometric data and outline image from the device to the authentication system; transmitting the outline image from the authentication system to the device during authentication of the individual; displaying the outline image in a stationary position on a screen included in the device; positioning desired authentication biometric data proximate the device such that the desired authentication biometric data appears as a biometric image on the screen; positioning the device and the desired authentication biometric data to better align the outline and biometric images when the outline and biometric images do not align; capturing the desired authentication biometric data from the individual when the biometric image is within an established tolerance of the outline image; determining an authentication region of interest of the captured authentication biometric data; and adjusting a scale and an angle of the authentication region of interest such that the authentication region of interest aligns with the enrollment region of interest.
