MegaMatcher SDK
Large-scale AFIS and multi-biometric identification
MegaMatcher is designed for large-scale AFIS and multi-biometric systems developers. The technology ensures high reliability and speed of biometric identification even when using large databases.
Available as a software development kit that allows development of large-scale single- or multi-biometric fingerprint, iris, face, voice or palm print identification products for Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android platforms.
Supported face capture cameras
See also the lists of supported fingerprint readers and iris scanners.
These cameras are supported by MegaMatcher SDK:
-
Any webcam or camera that is accessible using:
- DirectShow, Windows Media or Media Foundation interfaces for Microsoft Windows platform.
- GStreamer interface for Linux or Mac platform.
- Any built-in smartphone or tablet camera that is supported by iOS or Android OS. The camera should have at least 0.3 MegaPixel (640 x 480 pixels) resolution.
-
Any IP camera, that supports RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol):
- Only RTP over UDP is supported.
- VLC framework can be optionally used for reading video streams.
- H.264/MPEG-4 AVC or Motion JPEG should be used for encoding the video stream.
-
These advanced cameras are supported:
- Akiyama Akys-10 Biometric Camera
- CMITech EMX-30 – face & iris camera (Microsoft Windows only)
- Iris ID iCAM R100 and iCAM TD100 – face & iris cameras (Microsoft Windows only)
- VistaFA2 / VistaFA2E / VistaEY2 face & iris cameras (Microsoft Windows only)
-
These models of still cameras are supported:
- Canon EOS family still cameras (Microsoft Windows only; the supported camera models are EOS M50, EOS 2000D, EOS 4000D, EOS M100, EOS 6D Mark II, EOS 200D, EOS 77D, EOS 800D, EOS M6, EOS M5, EOS 5D Mark IV, EOS-1D X Mark II, EOS 80D, EOS 1300D, EOS M10, EOS 5DS, EOS 5DS R, EOS 760D, EOS 750D, EOS 7D Mark II)
- Nikon DSLR still cameras (Microsoft Windows only; a specific camera model should support video capture and should be listed there)
- Cameras, which can operate in near-infrared spectrum, can be used for image capture. MegaMatcher/VeriLook algorithm is able to match faces, captured in near-infrared spectrum, against faces, captured in visible light. See the VeriLook algorithm testing results for details.
- Integrators can also write plug-ins to support their cameras using the plug-in framework provided with the Device Manager from the MegaMatcher SDK.
Simultaneous capture from multiple cameras is possible.
A video file can be also used as a data source for applications based on MegaMatcher SDK.
