FingerprintIO template codecs

FingerprintIO is a Java library that encodes and decodes publicly documented fingerprint template formats defined by ISO and ANSI.

Currently supported formats include:

• ANSI 378-2004
• ANSI 378-2009
• ANSI 378-2009/AM 1
• ISO 19794-2:2005 (off-card)
• ISO 19794-2:2011 (off-card)

FingerprintIO itself does not perform feature extraction or matching. Use SourceAFIS for that.

Download

Get FingerprintIO from Maven Central:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.machinezoo.fingerprintio</groupId>
    <artifactId>fingerprintio</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.0</version>
</dependency>

Or clone sources from GitHub or Bitbucket. Don't forget to configure your build for Java 11+. Last version compatible with Java 8 was 1.1.1. Sources and binaries are distributed under Apache License 2.0.

If your project is a Java module, add the following declaration to your module-info.java:

requires com.machinezoo.fingerprintio;

Usage

Here's a quick example demonstrating decoding of ANSI 378 template:

byte[] serialized = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("ansi378-2004-example.dat"));
if (Ansi378v2004Template.accepts(serialized)) {
    System.out.println("This is an ANSI 378-2004 template.");
    var template = new Ansi378v2004Template(serialized);
    int fpcount = template.fingerprints.size();
    System.out.printf("Template contains %d fingerprint(s).\n", fpcount);
    var fingerprint = template.fingerprints.get(0);
    int mincount = fingerprint.minutiae.size();
    System.out.printf("First fingerprint has %d minutiae.\n", mincount);
}

Object structure closely matches actual template structure. See javadoc for details.
