Now this project has good responses from many people (thank you). It is very nice for any developer. But many people ask
about possible support of other scanners exceipt Futronic and about availability of sources of BFPSDK and
biometric engine algorithm. The project author IS NOT the owner and the creator of the biometric engine used
in BFPSDK. Any biometric algorithm (engine) is used very complex mathematical model with some or many empirical
assumptions. Author don't know how to adapt or adjust this biometric engine for any scanner. Only the biometric engine
developers will be able to do this. Only after this adaption author could be add this new or updated biometric engine and
command set of other scanner for BFPSDK.
Therefore please contact directly to Futronic for any question about license or sources of algorithm, or support
of any other biometric scanner from the other vendor.
