VeriFinger 6.0 SDK for fingerprint recognition and VeriLook 3.2 SDK for facial recognition now available

Tuesday, April 15, 2008

Neurotechnology (formerly Neurotechnologija) has made available two new biometric software development kits: VeriFinger 6.0 SDK for fingerprint recognition and VeriLook 3.2 SDK for facial recognition applications. Both versions incorporate the core matching algorithms from Neurotechnology’s MegaMatcher 2.0 multi-biometric SDK. Both SDKs also now contain all the necessary technology for the development of Web-based biometric applications

Algimantas Malickas, CEO of Neurotechnology, said, “These customers are looking for the high level of reliability provided by MegaMatcher, but they do not want or need to invest in a large-scale AFIS or multi-biometric system.” [end]
