Overview
This project implements a biometric payment system that enables students to make on-campus purchases using fingerprint authentication. The system is inspired by the tab-based payment model used at BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus, where students can purchase food, beverages, and other items on credit, with balances cleared during semester fee payments.
Key Features
- Secure biometric authentication using fingerprint recognition
- Tab-based payment system for deferred settlement
- Real-time transaction processing and tracking
- Seamless integration with campus commerce ecosystem
Technology Stack
- Backend API: Flask framework for RESTful services
- Hardware: Raspberry Pi with integrated fingerprint sensor
- Database: MongoDB for transaction and user data management
- Authentication: Biometric fingerprint verification
Applications
This system enhances the campus payment experience by eliminating the need for physical cards or cash, providing a secure and convenient payment method for students.
