[fprint] Work on FPrint

[Denis Gessert]

Hey,
thanks for the quick reply. We have to present our results at the beginning of May so that we should have plenty of time to work on the TODO list. With the programming part we should be able to do it. In questions of the documentation I have to talk to my group members as I am not sure whether it is a good idea to do it as quite young second language speakers. However, from my perspective I think that we can do it.
PS: I tried the IRC but I couldn't open the URL The latest version is 0.5 from the third of December isn't it?
Regards,
Denis

What information do you need?

See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fprint/libfprint
"Contributing" section. TODO is a bit outdated,
here's my TODO list:

1. Improve imaging performance on devices with small sensors (AES1610, AES1660).
There're several ways to achieve that point:
a) Do 3-5 scans of the same finger during enrollment, store them as
gallery and use for later verification/identification
b) Do 3-5 scans of the same finger during enrollment and assemble them
into one good large image, use it for later
verification/identification

(a) seems to be easier

2. Improve libfprint documentation.
a) We still lack documentation for asynchronous API
b) Document driver model

(2) is boring but still very important.

Btw, I suggest you to join #fprint channel at irc.freenode.org for
faster communication.

Regards
Vasily
