Software(either binary-only, SDK, or pure source code) that can read in an image of a fingerprint and then process it intelligently. The fingerprint image may be from a ten-print ink card, a live-scan fingerprint reader, keyboard with extra hardware, or be a latent print taken from a crime scene. The software may use pattern classifiers, minutiae detection, or other methods. The software should support at least some of the following: enrollment, compare match against, search among database, etc. As a special exception WSQ related software, can be included.
