Overview

VeriFinger SDK is based on the VeriFinger fingerprint recognition technology and is intended for biometric systems developers and integrators. It allows rapid development of biometric applications using functionality from the VeriFinger algorithm, which ensures high reliability of the fingerprint identification, 1:1 and 1:N matching modes and comparison speeds of up to 40,000 fingerprints per second. VeriFinger can be easily integrated into the customer's security system. The integrator has complete control over SDK data input and output.

VeriFinger SDK supports Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

Contents of VeriFinger 6.0 Standard SDK and Extended SDK

The following VeriFinger 6.0 SDKs are available:

• VeriFinger 6.0 Standard SDK is intended for PC-based biometrical application development. It includes Matcher and Extractor components, programming samples and tutorials, fingerprint scanner drivers and software documentation. The SDK allows the development of biometric applications for Microsoft Windows, Linux or Mac OS X operating systems.
• VeriFinger 6.0 Extended SDK is intended for biometrical Web-based and network application development. It includes all features of Standard SDK. Additionally, the SDK contains sample client applications, tutorials and a ready-to-use matching server.

The table below compares VeriFinger 6.0 Standard SDK and VeriFinger 6.0 Extended SDK.

Supported scanners and platforms

The table below explains which scanners are supported under certain platforms.

^* DigitalPersona U.are.U scanners' driver supports simultaneous input from multiple U.are.U scanners.

VeriFinger Matching Server

VeriFinger Matching Server software is not included in VeriFinger 6.0 Standard SDK.

VeriFinger Matching Server is a ready-to-use software that performs the identification and verification of fingerprints on the server side. The server is intended to be used in web-based and other network-based systems.

VeriFinger Matching Server runs on PCs with Microsoft Windows or Linux and includes these additional components:

• Server administration tool for monitoring servers state, managing log and other server administration tasks;
• Support modules for MySQL and Oracle databases.
• Sample client applications:
  • C# tutorials (for Microsoft Windows);
  • C sample (for Linux);
  • Sample Java applet.

VeriFinger Extractor component

VeriFinger Extractor creates fingerprint templates from fingerprint images. Image quality control can be applied to accept only good quality fingerprint images.

The Extractor can generalize a fingerprint template from several fingerprint images to improve template's quality.

VeriFinger Matcher component

VeriFinger Matcher performs fingerprint template matching in 1:1 and 1:n modes.

System requirements

System requirements for VeriFinger Matching Server

• PC with x86 compatible CPU (2 GHz processor or better is recommended);

Additional products

These products can be used together with VeriFinger SDKs:

• Smartcard FingerMatch Add-on – a product for integration of fingerprint templates' storage and verification on JavaCards with existing biometric systems based on VeriFinger SDK or MegaMatcher SDK.
• Biometrical Standards Support Add-on for VeriFinger – a product for template standards and image format support integration with systems based on VeriFinger SDK.

SDK Trials

Neurotechnology offers VeriFinger 6.0 Standard SDK and Extended SDK on a 30 day trial. The trials allow developers to explore the SDKs' possibilities and to try them in real environments and real applications. Constant Internet connection is required during evaluation.
VeriFinger SDK trials are available for downloading.

The VeriFinger 6.0 algorithm demo application for Microsoft Windows is also available for downloading.
