Throughout this day I've been investing time into fingerprint matching/recognition algorithms/implementations in the world of programming. Though it's a bit of a vague because I can't seem to find anything really related.
I'm basically looking for two next things:
Fingerprint recognition: verify that the image is actually a fingerprint and so can be matched with another fingerprint
Fingerprint matching: match two fingerprint from items to see if the actually are equal
All operations will be done on images, so I don't have anything to do with hardware. I've found a few things such as the Java Fingerprint SDK, etc and also found almost duplicate questions on Stackoverflow but they are either outdated or are not really clear.
Could anyone point me a direction to algorithms/implementations (open source) who can do these two things? I want to
