Convert encoded fingerprint data to raw bytes (in another language) #16
Description
Hello,
So much appreciation for your giving the world this library! We used it in a major project some two years ago, and it was awesome; it helped greatly. Thank you!
1. The Challenge
We currently have a good number of stored fingerprints captured/enrolled with this library, encoded with the toString function. The decoding function fromString would be needed to return them to raw bytes, for identification/verification.
2. Assistance/Help Request
Since this library won't work with the latest version of libfprint (currently at v2), can you please give a lead/clue as to how the fromString(...) function can be implemented in either python/JavaScript? A pseudo-code could go a long way, please.
3. Why needed
Having the fromString(...) function in any of those two languages will allow us revert the stored fingerprint data to raw bytes, and then use them in our identification/verification routines implemented with libfprint-2-2 (with python/javascript binding). Our team isn't too good with C++.
Thanks and regards, please.
Foluso.
