Sample Code 7-Comparison of fingerprint and template data

Once you press your finger down, your fingerprint can be compared with the template data. The template data does not occupy the fingerprint storage capacity, and those for comparison are stored in an array. In this case, the template data can come from external sources (such as SD card and cloud). Please make sure that there are fingerprints stored in ID 1 before using this example.
