<div dir="ltr">Hi everybody,<div> </div><div>Base on the new info I got I've updated the driver in a few places:</div><div> </div><div>1. Frames are cropped to 30px by height. I've received some examples of images from 96px readers and it seems that the assembling procedure just doesn't work for frames of greater height. I _think_ this is largely because the skin stretches and deforms in a non-uniform way when you swipe. E.g. the same part of the print is slightly different when it's near the bottom of the frame than when it's near the top. Plus, there often seem to be sensor artifacts near the edges, so.</div><div> </div><div>2. Sensor reset is out. Devices do it when they power up. I'm not entirely sure that it's absolutely not needed, though. I'm thinking about suspend & resume, for one. But anyway, I've used my reader for long without any reset and I'm suspending all the time and I haven't had any problems because of it.</div><div> </div><div>3. Some changes around calibration. You can get a calibration status of 0x01 (ongoing) and 0x03 (completed) from the device. But I've noticed that very often the first response I get is 0x03, which later (~100 ms) changes to 0x01, then back to 0x03. So now to make sure it actually completes, the driver first wants to see 0x01 at least once and then it waits for 0x03.</div><div> </div><div>4. KT has recommended a different frame extraction algo. First we subtract the background which we got during calibration. This helps quite significantly. Then we split values into 3 groups and apply a different transformation to each group (see comments for detail). And this seems to give slightly worse results on my reader than simple linear scaling like there was before. So I've left both methods and it's possible to configure the method for each device. YMMV.</div><div> </div><div>Please see if it now works better/same/worse for you. I think verification is now slightly better on my device but I need to use it for a couple of days to know.</div> <div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Jan 30, 2018 at 8:31 PM Igor Filatov <<a href="mailto:ia.filatov@gmail.com">ia.filatov@gmail.com</a>> wrote: </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Timo,<div> </div><div>Sure, give it a shot!

Ideally it would be in C and it would be stand-alone so that it can be added to libfprint as a second algorithm to use on low-res fp readers. But we don't need to get there in one step. If you are interested in working on this, and you can write something in say python which does a good job of matching and add some docs / comments clearly explaining all the steps of the algorithm you've come up with, then someone else can use that to implement the same algorithm in say C. We should probably also consider adding an external (C-lib) dependency for this to libfprint, rather then implementing everything needed from scratch, but that is all something to worry about later really. First we need a clearly described / documented algorithm which does a good job of matching (with example code please). Once we have that we can worry about integrating it into libfprint (IMHO).

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 (<a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fprint/libfprint/Imaging_performance/#possiblesolutions" target="_blank">https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fprint/libfprint/Imaging_performance/#possiblesolutions</a>).> > 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.
