Trying to get a computer program to tune itself beyond what a
knowledgeable (in the subject), programmer can achieve, is dificult.

Of course, you'll have to learn and experiment somewhat to tune your
program.

There must be some biometric programming info available in papers and
such. Any luck with searching the net?

The intensity of the light that passes through the print (or is
reflected from the print) is what you want to measure, Exactly how
that's done is up to your operating system and your programming
language. You need to query each pixel on the screen displaying the
print, and determine it's luminence, imo.

Then, you'll have to map this as you proceed, onto a 2D array. (maybe
3D would be better still on second thought, to store the luminence
value).

I did some of this in DOS, but for Windows et.al., you need to go to
their respective newsgroups or forums dedicated to that OS.

I'd do some reading on what you find first though. The more you know,
the more you can ask the right questions and get some helpful answers.
Very unlikely to get a helpful answer to a basic "fingerprint scanner -
how to program", kind of question. Very few people have ever programmed
a fingerprint reader, see?

Adak.
