Biometric Converter

About

Biometric converter is software that converts fingerprint images (WSQ, JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG) to finger minutiae formats (ANSI/INCITS 378 and ISO/IEC 29794-4) and finger minutiae format between each other. This repository serves as a formally recognized reference implementation of the international standard.

Build / Installation

Prerequisites

Install dependencies

NBIS

CLI Usage

Convert file.

convert -i <input_file> -ti <input_type> -o <output_file> -to <output_type>
Param Description
input_file path to file you want convert from
input_type input file type format (image or minutiae)
output_file path to file you want convert to
output_type output file type format (minutiae)

You can also use docker image from Docker Hub to use CLI without building/installing software.

  1. Pull image
docker pull biometrictechnologies/biometric-converter-cli
  1. Use CLI
docker run -i --rm -v ./work:/opt/work biometrictechnologies/biometric-converter-cli convert -i <input_file> -ti <input_type> -o <output_file> -to <output_type>
