Overview

VeriLook SDK is based on the VeriLook PC-based face recognition technology and is intended for biometric systems developers and integrators. It allows rapid development of biometric applications using functions from the VeriLook library, which ensure high reliability of the face identification. VeriLook SDK enables 1:1 and 1:N matching modes, simultaneous multiple face detection, processing and identification with a comparison speed of 100,000 faces per second.

VeriLook can be easily integrated into the customer's security system. The integrator has complete control over SDK data input and output.

VeriLook SDK includes Camera Manager library for Microsoft Windows and Linux which allows to perform simultaneous capture from multiple cameras.

Contents of VeriLook 3.2 Standard SDK and Extended SDK

VeriLook is available as the following SDKs:

• VeriLook 3.2 Standard SDK is intended for PC-based biometrical application development. It includes Matcher and Extractor components, programming samples and tutorials, camera manager library and software documentation. The SDK allows the development of biometric applications for Microsoft Windows, Linux or Mac OS X operating systems.
• VeriLook 3.2 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 VeriLook 3.2 Standard SDK and VeriLook 3.2 Extended SDK.

VeriLook Matching Server

VeriLook Matching Server software is not included in VeriLook 3.2 Standard SDK.

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

VeriLook 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# sample (for Microsoft Windows);
  • C sample (for Linux);
  • Sample Java applet.

VeriLook Extractor component

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

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

Live face detection can be used for determining whether a face in a video stream belongs to a real human or is a photo.

VeriLook Matcher component

VeriLook Matcher performs face template matching in 1:1 and 1:n modes.

Camera Manager library

Camera Manager library works under Microsoft Windows and Linux and provides functionality for working with cameras. The library allows to perform simultaneous capture from multiple cameras

Additional products

These products can be used together with VeriLook SDKs:

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

SDK Trials

Neurotechnology offers VeriLook 3.2 Standard SDK and Extended SDK on 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.
VeriLook SDK trials are available for downloading.

The VeriLook 3.2 algorithm demo application for Microsoft Windows is also available for downloading.
