Technical Specifications

MegaMatcher On Card 13.1 can be configured according to different requirements and smart card constraints, at both pure Java Card level and native code. The summary of average memory requirements is available below. The MegaMatcher On Card 13.1 template matching engines performance was tested for smart cards from several vendors; see the testing results for more information on matching speed for a particular card.

  • Fingerprint engine specific:
    • 500 ppi is the recommended fingerprint image resolution.
    • Fingerprint scanners with scan area of up to 1.55" x 1.45" (39 x 37 mm; FAP10, FAP20, FAP30 scanners) are recommended.
  • Face engine specific:
    • 32 pixels is the minimal distance between eyes for a face on image or video stream to perform face template extraction reliably. 64 pixels or more recommended for better template extraction results. Note that this distance should be native, not achieved by resizing an image.
    • MegaMatcher On Card face extraction engine has certain tolerance to face posture that assures face detection:
      • head roll (tilt) – ±30 degrees from frontal position.
      • head pitch (nod) – ±30 degrees from frontal position.
      • head yaw (bobble) – ±30 degrees from frontal position.
  • Iris engine specific:
    • 640 x 480 pixels is the minimum image size for iris capture with 64 pixels minimal radius of circle containing full iris texture.
    • ±15 degrees is the default verified iris rotation tolerance; this value can be extended on demand.
    • Near-infrared spectral region is recommended for iris image capture.

Below are provided the memory requirements for the native level integration and Java Card post-issuance libraries. Note that the Java Card post-issuance libraries utilize Java level static RAM for internal matching engine routines, whereas the native level integrations temporary utilize RAM available at the native level while the internal routines run, thus consuming no static Java level RAM.
