Java program that compares fingerprint images

Fingerprinter

Fingerprinter is a Java program that compares fingerprint images and finds matches therein.

Usage

• Install Java.
• Run the program. (Double-click to run the GUI.)
  • Run java -jar fingerprinter.jar [probe [candidates-folder]] to run it on the command-line.
• Select a probe image of a fingerprint to look for.
• Select a folder containing images of fingerprints to look for the probe amongst.
• Run the comparison.
• The greener the matches, the more likely it is that the prints are the same. It counts them as a match if the score is above 40.

Options

• Use Print Templates Cache – Makes/reads a file with the JSON generated from the file
  • -c or --cache to use from the command-line
• TV Mode – Flash the images while checking—just like on TV!
  • Caps at one image per frame, so if you just want the results, don't use this.
  • Please don't use if it may harm you
• Less Fast TV – Slows TV Mode to flashing an image to once every 5 frames
  • Might be worse if you have epilepsy
• Colorful Failure – Always shows the color border for the candidate print, even when it's not a match. Otherwise, it will just show green when it matches and gray when it doesn't.
