Deliverables

You are provided with a special biometric scanner, drivers for the same, the basic .dlls that allow you to access the scanner, information on fingerprint, image processing and minutiae and their relevance. The information provided is just a starting point for you to begin your search and understanding of fingerprint processing. Please keep in mind that that the main purpose behind this Challenge is to enhance your knowledge in the field of Biometrics and hence the grading pattern will be in accordance with the same.

Here is what the program you submit needs to do when executed by us:

• Be able to capture a minimum of 25 fingerprints through the scanner (enrollment).
• The fingerprints should not be stored in a database but as images/templates with well defined file names that should correspond to the sequence of capture.
