Purpose
A Mapua University prototype for secure biometric identity management: capture fingerprints with a hardware scanner, register them against user records, and store everything in an SQLite database for fast, reliable lookups.
Description
A fingerprint sensor connects to a Raspberry Pi through the PyFingerprint library, which handles enrollment and matching. A PyQt interface provides separate registration and scanning windows — new users enroll their prints, and subsequent scans identify them against stored templates. All fingerprint records and user data live in an SQLite database, with threaded scanning keeping the interface responsive while the sensor waits for a finger.
