VisPro-ware SDK
The VisPro-ware Software Developers Kit (SDK) enables developers, systems integrators and independent software vendors to create powerful security applications that can acquire, process, display and search based on facial biometric images optimized for the most stringent biometric face recognition security systems.
VisPro-ware SDK improves the quality of images upon enrollment thus increasing the performance of face-matching solutions and the security aspect of an overall system deployment. Images captured by cameras, particularly with non-cooperative subjects, may lack the correct lighting, contrast or the pose of the subject may not be suitable. VisPro-ware SDK utilizes the raw images captured by CryptoMetrics® biometric camera technology, conducts quality analysis of them and then normalizes the images so they are suitable for biometric facial recognition.
Biometric security applications can be built on top of the VisPro-ware SDK using the interfaces provided. The SDK is supplied in the form of an ActiveX component for Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and XP. Applications can be developed based on this SDK using any development environment supporting the use of ActiveX components. The following have been tested and are supported by CryptoMetrics:
- Microsoft Visual Basic 6
- Microsoft Visual C++ 6
Features:
- Corrects image lighting and contrast
- Normalizes images for biometric facial recognition in seconds
- Performs image-quality analysis and generates reports
- Performs normalization to preset thresholds on numerous photos that may be contained in a database
Benefits:
- Can be used to improve quality of photos upon enrollment, thus increasing the performance of the face-matching solution and increasing the security aspect of the overall IT deployment
- Enables rapid identification in sub-optimal conditions for incoming images
- Can be integrated with existing security solutions
- Provides developers total control of facial biometric image processing and handling
- Architecture is flexible enough to accommodate current and emerging international standards for global exchange of facial biometrics as specified in ICAO 9303, and industry best practices
