Biometrics 2 (notes)
====================

## Lecture aim (Why are we teaching this?)

TBA

## Brief overview of topics to touch

* Fingerprints -- processing, storage, analysis (theory)
* Fingerprint library -- working with API?
* Creating fake fingerprints
* Programming task with API -- sort fingerprints

## Miscellaneous notes

* Software for fingerprint generation based in minutiae data?
* Fingerprint portairts http://www.dna11.com/products/fingerprint-portraits

## Fingerprint library

* GrFinger is old (now proprietary) and Windows only.
* Prefer cross-platform, still-active, open-source (or at least free), preferably CLI/C++/Java.
* SourceAFIS seems reasonable (Java, MIT license), last update 2017. (https://sourceafis.machinezoo.com)
* NEUROtechnology free SDK, Windows only (http://www.neurotechnology.com/free-fingerprint-verification-sdk.html)
    * Demo applications available http://www.neurotechnology.com/download.html
