Okay, I investigated Fingerprint recognition SDK in more detail and here's what I have found: * much newer than Bozorth3, it's just 2 years old * sound algorithms that are a considerable improvement over Bozorth3 * more accurate than Bozorth3, uses non-minutia information * faster than Bozorth3, should be practical to search databases of 10,000 fingerprints * tunable if provided with database of training fingerprints, just give it fingerprints from fprint-supported sensors * tuning can be also used to specialize the algorithm for specific sensors, especially the small ones * high tolerance to elastic deformation of fingerprints, this might be useful for the elderly I haven't tested it though, but I guess the tests conducted by authors can be trusted. See more information about their algorithm here: http://fingerprintreco.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fingerprintreco/fingerprintreco/Documents/Presentations/ So my recommendation is to integrate Fingerprint recognition SDK in fprint as a replacement for Bozorth3. Regarding my own project, I do not expect it to provide any revolutionary improvement over FR-SDK. I might do it for the fun anyway, I haven't yet decided about this. Robert
