RaspiReader: An Open-Source Fingerprint Reader Facilitating Spoof Detection

Wow this is amazing! I love these kind of open source projects.

I'll give a brief summary: they use two raspberry pi cameras (5MP) and a prism to capture images of a finger print. Then they use a new fingerprint spoof detection schema (that they developed) through the extraction of highly discriminative fingerprint spoof detection features (color local binary patterns) to determine spoofs vs not spoofs. Compared to traditional systems they have pretty high spoof detection rates.
