	I am doing work with identifying fingerprint patterns and I am looking
for an algorithm which can take a binary image of a print and determine the
pattern type, such as loop, whorl, arch, etc..  I already have clear scanned
images of the prints in .PCX files, and can decode the files into arrays which
represent the pixel values, but I was wondering if a way of determining the
type of print already exists.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
