Hi Juan,
If you're using minutiae, you will want something like character 
recognition to identify the (admittedly arbitrary) elements of 
fingerprints like loops and whorls and their relative extents and 
positions. I don't know whether there is much character recognition 
stuff done in R, but it would certainly be related.
