I am working on the project that required that I make a java program that should read finger print from finger print device.
it will be nice if any body could help me with a good tutorial or a link.
I am looking for api that could be used.
actually i am looking for any help.
thanks
Hi there,
So far I found out that actual fingerprint reader (USB) costs in range of some 200 bucks, but that is reader only. You obviously need whole SDK kit which is reader + SDK software and that totals to 400 bucks.
It shouldn't be too hard to get fingerprint going, specially with that SDK. Reason being is that whole fingerprint processing is already done in the reader as a embedded process. All other readers are simply readers and you have to write whole thing. Obviously, again you need SDK for that and more workload for you.
This is what manufacturer says about that first kit:
Using a simple Application Programming Interface, it is extremely easy for designers to integrate the fingerprint authentication features into their applications. The developer can develop the interface very quickly without in-depth knowledge of biometrics. This compact device is a fully integrated fingerprint-based biometric subsystem, combined with fingerprint sensing and algorithm processing. All biometric algorithm processing is carried out in a custom chip integrated at the back of the silicon fingerprint sensor.
