It is a wrapper over some 3rd party comparison algorithm, that should be installed separately from SDK. Empty by default (string, read/write).
- Added property FPCompareThreshold to set threshold value for accepting fingerprints comparison result. This value depends on the selected fingerprints comparison algorithm provider in FPCompareLibName (integer, read/write).

- Added method FPScanUI to show fingerprint scan UI dialog.
- Added property FPScanLibName to set library name that will be used for performing fingerprints scanning. This library should be present in SDK folder. It is a wrapper over some 3rd party fingerprint scanner library, that should be installed separately from SDK. Empty by default (string, read/write).
- Added property FPScanQualityThreshold to set threshold value for accepting fingerprint image on scan. This value depends on the selected fingerprints scanner provider in FPScanLibName (integer, read/write).

- Added property LiveCameraDepth for enabling/disabling usage of camera depth information when capturing person’s live picture. This depth information may be available if Intel D4xx camera is used, and its SDK correctly installed. Depth information is used for liveness check. Default False (Boolean, read/write).
