There's a group in the next room from me working on that.
Of course, law enforcement agencies currently have computerized fingerprint
databases that can be scanned to identify prints, but they run on main
frames or minis and are very expensive.  The problem is that it's a very
computationally intensive task.  This group, headed I believe by Dr.
Rokhlin, is trying to get efficient algorithms for scanning / digitizing
prints (eg from an ordinary ink/paper version), and rapidly identifying
similar prints, by using a PC with a high power coprocessor board
(they're using a transputer).
