How to compare fingerprint images

[dlfshweta]

I am doing work on FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION SYSTEM,
I am using VB.NET AS FRONT END SQL SERVER 2000 AS BACK END,
i had saved fingerprint images in sqlserver using image datatype,
images are saving as hexadecimal codes in sql server,
now i want suggestion how to compare two images.

Have you done this sort of work before? Image recognition software, or fingerprint analysis?

I googled ".NET fingerprint compare" and ".NET fingerprint SDK" and got numerous hits and even some affordable SDK's.

I think this is usually done by either: wavelet encoding or location of features (like forks in the ridges).
