Further research turned out "Fingerprint recognition SDK" which seems much better than Bozorth3, judging from its documentation. I am reconsidering my plans in view of tougher competition. It might be a better idea to improve on top of existing FR-SDK sources, but then that's not so much fun. I have compiled a list of other algorithms with quick evaluation of each here: https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/sourceafis/index.php?title=Main_Page Is anything here of use? > http://fingerprint.nist.gov/NBIS/index.html There appears to be an image database, but I have no idea in what format are those AN2 files. > The problems are that it works very well for fingerprints of young people, > but not so well for the older generations where the skin is looser. > The other big problem is that it doesn't work well for images with very few > minutae (less than 10), and some of the sensors that are common in the > marketplace only produce small images like this. > Both these problems plague all matching algorithms. Both can be solved to a large extent with better scanning devices, but I understand this is not an option all the time. Robert
