Hi,
Let’s assume I’d like to take a look at it (I am indeed quite interested).
Would I have to write the algorithm in C (I am, as mentioned, not quite good in C and I don’t think that C is the perfect language for algorithmic)?
And would I have to rewrite the existing code or could I just replace a library?
Kind regards,
Timo

Well yes, treating these readers as swipe devices does seem awkward. But that was the only way of making it work short of implementing a new recognition algo, which seemed like too much at the time. In fact, the current one is also a 3rd party lib. The authors of libfprint have considered an alternative approach for smaller sensors but there weren't any usable libs (https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fprint/libfprint/Imaging_performance/#possiblesolutions).
As for the stitching code, it assumes that frame height is small. A couple of px originally but works for a couple dozen px as well (but not *that* well). 96px is probably too much but you can try tweaking the frame margin. The height needs to be narrow enough for the stitching to work and wide enough to make sure there are no gaps, given the device's "frame rate". But even if that works, we're left with 96px of width which means you really need to make sure you enroll the same area of the finger which you verify...
With a bit of getting used to, my 144x64 scanner works more or less ok for me. Could be better, but still. This is why I decided to keep working on this driver. But then, there's a driver for a 64x64 device (https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fprint/libfprint/aes4000/) so why not?

This works for me with both the 0c16 and 0c26 readers I've access too.
But we really need someone (any takers?) to implement a different type
of recognition algorithm for these, not using minutia and then not treat
them as swipe readers. Basically what we need is some form of image correlation
algorithm. Perhaps the stitching code (which does not seem to do a very good
job IMHO) can be used, to see if 2 images can be made to mostly overlap
with an acceptable shift.
Note that when I last looking into this I did a quick duckduckgo search
on low resolution fingerprint recognition and there are a number of
academic papers on how this can be done using image correlation, so
ideally some-one would go and implement something like this.

Hans
