Foundation Biometrics SDK
State-of-the-art biometric software libraries for face, finger and iris.
Foundation Biometrics is L-1’s collection of core face, fingerprint and iris biometric software libraries. Foundation libraries are used in many L-1 products, from
ABIS® 7 Search Engine, L-1’s multi-biometric identification server and HIIDE™, to L-1’s multi-biometric handheld enrollment and identification device. Available as Foundation Biometrics Software Development Kit (SDK), it enables solution engineers to develop biometric applications in each of the three biometric modes including face recognition, fingerprint and iris.
The Foundation Biometrics SDK supports the development of the following classes of biometric applications in each of the three biometric modes:
- Enrollment applications that require biometric quality assessments of captured images as feedback to operators, point-of-capture image processing tasks such as slap image (fingerprint) segmentation and template creation
- Verification applications that require 1:1 comparisons of biometric images and/or templates
- Identification applications that require one-to-few search matching, typically for access control and rapid identification on a smaller scale
The Foundation libraries perform biometric image and template processing. Image capturing procedures are not conducted or triggered and require the deployment of separate devices. The customer is free to choose any camera support and database concept he needs as this is not in the scope of the Foundation.
