# About this Project # About this Project
This project is being developed as a practical part of bachelor's thesis at Brno University of Technology - Faculty of Information Technology. This application has been developed as a part of bachelor's thesis at Brno University of Technology - Faculty of Information Technology.
It is as of now a work in progress. The topic of this thesis was Generating a 3D Fingerprint Model from input fingerprint image.
The topic of this thesis is Generating a 3D Fingerprint Model from input fingerprint image. This application consists of two main parts. The first part of the application uses custom filter library to apply image filters to enhance fingerprint images.
This application can be used to apply series of image processing filters to a fingerprint image to make it more suitable for conversion to 3D stl model and printing. This library consists of several filters imported from image processing modules.
The second part of the project includes the functionality to use generated image as a height map for generating 3D model in stl format. The second part uses the processed image to make a 3D model of the fingerprint.
This model can either be planar, curved or mapped. The model can then be used to print an accurate representation of human fingerprint using a 3D printer.
This model can either be planar, curved or mapped to a finger model.

There is an option to input the filter series as a preset from JSON configuration file. There is an option to input the filter series as a preset from JSON configuration file.
To avoid accidental loss of information caused by modifying presets that have been used to generate stl files, Here the presets are stored and are ready to be used whenever needed. You can usehow many filters you need as long as you like the output.
these presets are stored inside a JSON file db.json. It is therefore highly recommended to check the output after every preset change.
This file serves as a simple database for storing presets, stored presets are modified by adding generated hash of all the filters in that preset.
