[fprint] Futronics FS90 support and Qt GUI for fprint

[Izico Chang]

Hi, fprint team members,

I have an Indian client in POS terminal OEM industry, we use a
Futronics FS90 Mini USB finger print device.

Futronics give us a free image capture SDK, the images quality is very
good, 300x440, with ridge, minitia very clearly shown, but they
refused to give any source code.

And Futronics has a fingerprint recognition software too, they
requested US$1,000 from us to give the closed source recognition SDK.

After studying online for some days, I decided to use your libfprint
as our framework, as I trust the NIBS used by FBI.

I plan to write a FS90 driver to wrap the closed source FS90 SDK
inside, is there any legal issue to do this way? I know your code is
LGPL.

And I've seen the user API document, and I can see the existing driver
codes in git soruce tree, but can anybody give me a point of the
official driver API?

And as our POS termianl use Qt, I'll write a Qt GUI for fprint to
enroll, capture, verify the fingerprint.

I'm definitely interested to cooperate with fprint team, and I guess
my client may have some interest too, if you are interested to my
proposal, or have any good advice on my work, please contact me asap.

I plan to finish driver in 2 days, and the QT GUI in 3 days, so I plan
to finish all work in this week (our Linux real time image
capture/scan/display software for FS90 in Qt is already running
robustly).

Thanks,
izico
