Hi Jim,
Another thing I am wondering is - even if you have a metric for comparing
two images (which I admit I didn't come across and I don't know how to
approach), would that be enough to decide if two images are "close" or not?
My guess is that no - one would also need a database of other fingerprints,
to compare how much a particular image is closer to another image, compared
to how other images are close to that image.
