Neurotechnology MegaMatcher 2.1 SDK available for development of multi-biometric systems

Wednesday, May 7, 2008

Neurotechnology has made available MegaMatcher 2.1 SDK for the development of large-scale automated fingerprint identification systems and multi-biometric face-fingerprint identification systems. MegaMatcher 2.1 includes live face detection functionality and support for a wider range of international standards. MegaMatcher 2.1 is optimized for use in automated biometrical identification systems for both forensic and civil applications.


MegaMatcher, which received full NIST MINEX certification last year, includes both fingerprint and face identification engines with a fusion algorithm that allows the two technologies to work together. Using the multi-biometric technology in MegaMatcher 2.1, developers and integrators can create systems where both face and fingerprint can be scanned at the same time using inexpensive hardware such as a fingerprint scanner and a simple Webcam or photo scanner. [end] 

M2SYS Technology has released a multi-modal biometric software solution called the Hybrid Biometric Platform. The Hybrid Biometric Platform is a client/server system that supports the use of fingerprints, finger veins, palm veins and iris recognition as a form of biometric authentication with the system designed so that customers are not locked into one biometric mode should they decide to change or add new modes in the future.
