AFIS TraceIt is used primarily as a finger print tracing program. This program has been tested on two Android smart devices. The two included a Galaxy Note2 and a Galaxy Note3. The program utilizes the stylus such as the one these two devices have.
About the program - Menu.
There are 3 buttons on the main form - Open File, Skeleton and Point Marking and an On/Off button for turning the skeleton on and off.
The secondary menu is a sweep screen from left to right. The menu displays 3 primary categories - Finger, Points and Skeleton. See enclosed images.
1. Finger - Can save the fingerprint and Open a file
2. Points - Turns points Off/On and also and Eraser to erase points
Skeleton - the On button has the same use as the button on the main form
Eraser - erases the skeleton
Pencil tool - traces the ridge pattern (hint: while tracing turn skeleton on and off to check trace)
Point button - This button is inactive unless you own the AFISLite FCliemt.
Save - Saves the skeleton to the SD card.
When a tool is activated, ie. eraser, when finished the tool is deactivated by pressing the button again. This must be done before carrying on to the next operation.
Note: I have used the camera on a downsized print (1/2" x 1/2") to try to get a good representation of a print found at a scene. Using the 8m camera and a flash on the Note 2 I was able to crop the image, trace it and find the match on an AFIS. This program has lots of potential for those interested in fingerprints but I must say you also need a steady hand.
The Zoom capability is just opening and closing two fingers on the screen much the same as done now to enlarge an image. This a nice feature see ridges especially on latents when tracing.
