UniKey - Case Studies



UniKey Protects Neurotechnology's Multi-biometric Face and Fingerprint Identification Engine

The Background

Neurotechnology's identification algorithms have consistently earned the highest honors in some of the industry's most rigorous competitions, including the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST)'s Fingerprint Vendor Technology Evaluation (FpVTE) and the International Fingerprint Verification Competitions (FVC).
Drawing from years of academic research in the fields of neuroinformatics, image processing and pattern recognition, Neurotechnology was founded in 1990 in Vilnius, Lithuania under the name Neurotechnologija and released its first fingerprint identification system in 1991. Since that time the company has released more than 40 products and version upgrades for identification and verification of objects and personal identity.

 

The Software

They support UniKey dongles in all our products. Dongle with their products can be used in such ways: 1. License file generation for particular computer;
2. License management over network;
3. As simple dongle which provide license to the computer to which it is connected.

 

About the products which can be used with UniKey dongles:

1. MegaMatcher SDK
MegaMatcher technology is intended for large-scale AFIS and multi-biometric systems developers. The technology ensures high reliability and speed of biometric identification even when using large databases.
MegaMatcher is available as a software development kit that allows development of large-scale fingerprint, face or multi-biometric face-fingerprint and optionally iris identification products for Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms. Iris template extraction and matching engine is available as an add-on for the SDK.
2. VeriLook SDK
VeriLook facial identification technology is intended for biometric systems developers and integrators. The technology assures system performance and reliability with live face detection, simultaneous multiple face recognitionand fast face matching in 1-to-1 and 1-to-many modes.
VeriLook is available as a software development kit that allows development of PC- and Web-based solutions on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms.
3. VeriFinger SDK
VeriFinger is a fingerprint identification technology intended for biometric systems
developers and integrators. The technology assures system performance with fast, reliable
fingerprint matching in 1-to-1 and 1-to-many modes.
VeriFinger is available as a software development kit that allows development of PC- and
Web-based solutions on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms.
4. VeriEye SDK
VeriEye iris identification technology is intended for biometric systems developers and
integrators. The technology includes many proprietary solutions that enable robust eye iris
enrollment under various conditions and fast iris matching in 1-to-1 and 1-to-many modes.
VeriEye is available as a software development kit that allows development of PCand
Web-based solutions on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms.
VeriEye SDK can be also used as iris engine add-on for MegaMatcher SDK.
5. SentiSight SDK.
SentiSight is intended for developers who want to use computer vision-based object
recognition in their applications. It enables manual and fully automatic object learning, and
searching for learned objects in images from almost any camera, webcam, still picture or
live video in an easy, yet versatile, way.
SentiSight is available as a software development kit that allows the development of object
recognition systems for Microsoft Windows or Linux platforms.
