Atmel Fingerchip sensors family
Atmel FingerChip is a whole family of thermal fingerprint sensors that use sweep capture method. Neurotechnology software is suitable for using with any chip from the FingerChip family, although chip dimensions and image capture area could be different from the presented specifications.
Support modules for this family of sensors were included in MegaMatcher 9.0 SDK, MegaMatcher On Card 3.5 SDK and VeriFinger 9.0 SDK.
Support modules for this device are not included in the newer versions of the mentioned SDKs, including the newest MegaMatcher 13.1 SDK, MegaMatcher On Card 13.1 SDK and VeriFinger 13.1 SDK.
