This project forked from mramdass/bump_fingerprints

Biometric fingerprinting scanners take several reference points on a person's finger for comparision with a known print. Therefore, the hold fingerprint itself is not used. There is a threshold the newly scanned print must meet to "match" the known print. With this said, it may be possible for two very similar fingerprints to "match." As long as the reference points in consideration to the part of the fingerprint aline, this will be considered a "match." Other locations of the fingerprint will not matter in such a scenario. This program seeks out different fingerprints that "match" within a database of several persons' fingerprints. One or more of these prints will be considered "bump" fingerprints. The hope is to have these prints match fingerprints from other databases.
