Fingerprint Algorithm
For this project, I came up with the idea of using computer vision to detect and sort through fingerprints to determine PINN numbers on Iphones. The idea was to use the cyanoacrylate fuming process to make fingerprints visible on a phone screen protector. Then, this slide would be scanned at 1200dpi and inputted into this program. As of now, the program can print out the 4 numbers that that the fingerprint corresponds with. The ultimate goal is actually being able to read fingerprint pores and other third-level features and determining the order of the 4 digit PINN. However, within this short time frame, it would not have been realistic to have completed such an enormous task. Therefore, my current program is more of a "proof-of-concept" and is one of the first stages of a much larger project idea. [As a note, I used OpenCV in Python and their computer vision library to help me with this project]
