Add SIGFM, a SIFT-based fingerprint matching algorithm designed for small-area sensors where NBIS minutiae detection is unreliable. SIGFM uses OpenCV4 SIFT keypoint matching with geometric consistency verification to compare fingerprint images directly, making it suitable for sensors with capture areas as small as 112x88 pixels. The algorithm is integrated as an optional dependency: when OpenCV4 is available, SIGFM support and SIGFM-based drivers are built; otherwise, the build proceeds without them. This follows the same pattern used for PIXMAN and UDEV optional dependencies. Based on work by Natalie Klestrup Röijezon (MR !418) and Tooniis (MR !530). |

History
LibFPrint was originally developed as part of an academic project at the University Of Manchester.
It aimed to hide the differences between consumer fingerprint scanners and provide a single uniform API to application developers.
Goal
The ultimate goal of the FPrint project is to make fingerprint scanners widely and easily usable under common Linux environments.
License
Section 6 of the license states that for compiled works that use
this library, such works must include LibFPrint copyright notices
alongside the copyright notices for the other parts of the work.
LibFPrint includes code from NIST's NBIS software distribution.
We include Bozorth3 from the US Export Controlled distribution, which we have determined to be fine being shipped in an open source project.
