No. But if I had to code one, I'd start with getting the program to scan through the image and output data from it that can be compared with other fingerprints. Seems a natural for a large 2D array to hold the image data.
Your program would need a little "fudge factor" since the same finger will give slightly different prints due to changes in weight, fluid, and pressure exerted while being printed, medium used to record the print, age, etc. I wouldn't try to teach the computer about a fingerprint's characteristics or anything like that. Just quickly have it read the image into an array of numbers, after reading the pixel's values. One problem would be to "normalize" the contrast of each print - even if it's on different material or with older obsolete ink, etc. Quite a project, imo.
