Precision Biometrics, a developer of biometrics systems and solutions, has announced a challenge for engineering students in hopes of garnering interest among the future graduates in pursuing a career in biometrics.
The challenge provides enrolled students with a kit containing a special fingerprint scanner, drivers for the scanner, the .dlls to access the scanner and information on fingerprint scanning and other items pertinent for the project.
Each student will need to create code that works with the scanner to provide results that at least cover enrollment of 25 fingerprints, storage of the templates, identification of unique templates and scanning of stored templates to test whether a 26th submitted template is in the database. All students are expected to follow a set of rules set out by precise so that each submission can be evaluated on the same grade scale.
