Large-scale AFIS SDK for civil, law-enforcement and forensic applications

MegaMatcher AFIS SDK is intended for development of large-scale AFIS for civil, law-enforcement and forensic apps. Matches rolled and flat fingerprints. Includes: API for latent fingerprint editor, fault-tolerant scalable AFIS cluster software and .NET components for rapid development of client side software. WSQ library and modules for conversion between MegaMatcher template, ANSI/NIST ITL-1-2000 and ANSI/INCIST 378 2004 standards are included. MegaMatcher SDK uses MegaMatcher technology, which ensures high reliability of the fingerprint identification and ability to match rolled and flat fingerprints. The high productivity and efficiency is supported by both fast matching algorithm and scalable fault-tolerant computer cluster software, which allows to perform fast parallel fingerprint matching, processes high number of identification requests and handles databases with practically unlimited size. MegaMatcher SDK includes .NET components for rapid development of client side software. To ensure AFIS compatibility with other software, WSQ library is included, as well as modules for conversion between MegaMatcher template and ANSI standards (ANSI/NIST ITL-1-2000 and ANSI/INCIST 378 2004). All components of MegaMatcher SDK could be used on both Windows and Linux OS. MegaMather technology features fast fingerprint processing in less than 1 second. Matching speed is up to 60,000 fingerprints per second for each node of the cluster (PC with Pentium 3GHz processor). The size of single record in the database is configurable from 300 to 1000 bytes, and the number of records in the database is unlimited. Minimal fingerprint resolution for MegaMatcher is 250 dpi, and recommended resolution is 500 dpi.
