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]

Neurotechnology releases multi-modal solution

Neurotechnology has announced that it has released a new multi-modal solution that employs fingerprint and iris-based authentication.

The system, called MegaMatcher Accelerator 3.0, is being touted by the company for its matching speeds of 200 million irises per second and 100 million fingerprints per second. Subsequently, due to its high matching speeds, Neurotechnology believes its new solution to be a perfect match for large-scale identity detection projects such as voter duplication detection, passport issuance, border control and other applications where a need for one-to-many matching exists.
