I'm going to create a fingerprint recognition system that includes fingerprint recognition from an image, extraction and mapping of functions. I am ready to implement it through C and Python, this library will be written in C and attached to Python as a module. Here are my questions:
Are there any books that you can recommend to me in this field (except the Fingerprint Recognition Guide)?
I need a device that simply scans a fingerprint and saves it as an image, which I can use later through my code. But I can not find it. They all have their own matching software and do not allow me to get around it. Are there any known devices for such a task, or should I write my own driver for one of them?
Would you recommend OpenCV?
This is clearly a computer vision task, so the answer is yes, OpenCV is good for the task.
The issue of fingerprint recognition has already been discussed on the OpenCV forum. So you can start with here .
