[fprint] Fingerprints in files?

[Manuel Naranjo]

Hello everyone,

I'm an EE student from Argentina, who likes all this image processing 
things.

I'm working for a company for a while all ready, and they had given me 
an interesting project. We want to port an all ready finger print 
matching solution to an embedded processor using a DSP that's integrated 
with the processor.

By mistake I got to printf and I have to say it's a great project. I 
readed some stuff from your website and it's impressive. Thing is that I 
don't have a finger print reader yet, and it seems that it's going to be 
a bit of a pain to get one in my city (I'm a bit away from our capital 
city). But I have some images taken from some finger prints readers, did 
anyone worked on implementing direct image reading into printf before?

It's not hard to do, and I'm all ready working on this, but it would be 
best if we can join forces.

I thought about using Xdialog (or dialog if it's not available) by 
running an external command so it doesn't add an extra dependency to the 
library compilation process. And then maybe using imagemagick which is 
all ready included to handle images format conversion.

Anyone, suggestions?

Thanks,
Manuel
