libfprint/TODO

LIBRARY
=======
identification
test suite against NFIQ compliance set
make library optionally asynchronous and maybe thread-safe
nbis cleanups
track open devices, so we can close them during libfprint close
free memory during libfprint close
API function to determine if img device supports uncond. capture
race-free way of saying "save this print but don't overwrite"

NEW DRIVERS
===========
Sunplus 895 driver
AES1610 driver
AES2501 driver
AES3400/3500 driver
ID Mouse driver
Support for 2nd generation MS devices
Support for 2nd generation UPEK devices

IMAGING
=======
aes4000 doesn't work very well, maybe due to small minutia count?
PPMM parameter to get_minutiae seems to have no effect
nbis minutiae should be stored in endian-independent format
return images with standard enroll/verify call variants

Improve print_data structure and on-disk format Drivers now have an ID number. These will be assigned by me and documented on the wiki. 0 cannot be used. Drivers now define a devtype for each device they initialise. This is to cope with the situation where a driver can support varying devices where their print data is incompatible (i.e. image scaling is totally changed). This doesn't apply to any existing supported devices. Print data no longer includes driver name, and includes driver ID instead. Paths to saved print data now include driver ID and devtype, and no longer include driver name. APIs exposed for converting a print_data into a blob which can then be loaded back again later. Useful for systems who don't want to use my simple storage system (which is only aimed at a single user). File format is now defined and will be documented on the wiki. The header is larger as we can no longer rely on directory paths in all scenarios. Print data compat check now checks devtype and driver ID. 2007-10-28 22:02:04 +00:00			`AES1610 driver`

Add bozorth3 from NBIS; implement verify for image devices uru4000 works splendiferously (YAY!) aes4000 is going to need some work though :( 2007-10-27 23:21:49 +00:00			`IMAGING`

remove imgdev abstraction from public API Make it easier for application developers, don't have to care about this level of abstraction which we're intending to make superfluous to them. 2007-11-02 17:04:19 +00:00			`return images with standard enroll/verify call variants`
