Rapid Fingerprint
SDK Integration
For Windows and Web Applications, WAN, LAN, Citrix, and
Terminal Server
Integrate a turnkey, enterprise fingerprint software system into your application in a matter of hours and avoid the hassles of a low level
fingerprint SDK. |
|
| What is Bio-Plugin? The M2SYS suite of Bio-Plugin™ solutions allow software developers to rapidly integrate a complete, server-based, turnkey fingerprint software system without the development work required from a low level fingerprint SDK. The
ease of integration of our biometric fingerprint software solutions coupled with
M2SYS’ unparalleled customer service enables software companies to immediately leverage the benefits of fingerprint biometrics with a fully scalable fingerprint
identification system.
Bio-Plugin™ enables software engineers who are interested in adding
a robust fingerprint software system to their application(s) to avoid the headache and hassle associated with low level
fingerprint SDK integration. Instead of having to invest precious
resources into learning the complexities of fingerprint software, and
into developing a robust fingerprint biometrics system using a fingerprint SDK, engineers can rapidly integrate Bio-Plugin™ in just a few hours, and are immediately provided a fully scalable system that also works in Citrix and Terminal
Services.
Why Should You Avoid a Low Level Fingerprint SDK?
Some fingerprint SDK providers claim to offer a toolkit for the rapid integration of a client/server
fingerprint software system through ActiveX and COM
components. DON'T BE FOOLED. These fingerprint
SDK toolkits still require the development of
a robust fingerprint matching server as well as a deep
understanding of other vital elements such as exception
handling and system optimization (see Fingerprint SDK
Comparison tab below).
Additionally, all low level fingerprint SDKs ultimately
require you to tightly embed the fingerprint API within your
software, which creates an immediate disadvantage. When
modifications or enhancements are made to either the host
application or to the fingerprint SDK, the host software
must be recompiled with the fingerprint SDK, setting the
stage for significant challenges with ongoing support and
maintenance.

environments |
M2SYS supports a variety
of development environments and can provide sample code. Examples include: C++, VB,
.NET, Delphi, PowerBuilder, Java, Clarion, and web applications. |
|
Support |
Minimal vendor support, you are responsible for
developing and supporting the system on an ongoing basis. |
Dedicated M2SYS engineer involvement to ensure
successful completion of integration. Proactive ongoing support and
system enhancements provided automatically. |
|
Focus |
Commitment to developing, maintaining, and supporting
the fingerprint system will distract from concentration on your core product |
Remain focused on your core competencies |
Still not convinced? Consider the following challenges you will face with
a fingerprint SDK that can significantly hamper development
resources and prolong time to market:
|
Fingerprint SDK |
Bio-Plugin™ |
|
Understanding the parameters involved with
fingerprint comparison, how they work, why they are significant, and how data needs to
be extracted from an image |
No knowledge required |
|
Data type mapping, database management, data synchronization,
exception handling |
No knowledge required |
|
System optimization to perform 1:N comparison for large
databases. Opening a record set from the database and matching one-by-one will not produce
fast results. |
High performance fingerprint server performs multi-threaded,
memory-based search for every request |
|
Handling poor image quality, bad image acquisition,
and unpredictable user input |
System already designed to address these issues |
|
Releasing a new version of your core software as you fix bugs
in your fingerprint module will lead to a serious version management problem and excessive
regression testing burden. |
Although appearing to your end users as having a seamlessly integrated
fingerprint module, your core software is completely separate. You can
independently release new versions of Bio-Plugin™ and your application.
|
Investing time and resources in constantly resolving
software defects and optimizing system performance to stabilize the fingerprint
module |
System has been continually optimized for the last
5 years.
M2SYS has learned from many different installations in various industry verticals
how to optimize and stabilize Bio-Plugin™ to handle any unpredictable situation. |

System Capabilities*:
> New Feature!
Bio-AI™ artificial intelligence agent uses a "dynamic
profiling" technique to actually learn about a user's
fingerprint with each scan, significantly reducing the
probability of false rejects
>
Supports any SQL compliant database, including MS SQL Server,
Access, MySQL, Oracle 9i, DB2, Informix
>
Scalable, multi-threaded server to optimize performance for
large implementations
>
Compression algorithm reduces size of stored records and
improves speed
>
Enroll fingerprints at 0.2 – 0.4 seconds and match 25,000
per second in an optimized setting
>
Adaptive image filtration eliminates “noise” and allows
minutiae extraction from even poor quality prints
>
Does not require presence of fingerprint core or delta
points
>
Fully tolerant to fingerprint translation and rotation
>
Unique global feature categorization increases effective
matching speed
>
Feature generalization improves reliability of enrolled
fingerprints
>
Encrypted fingerprint template data over network and in
database
* Reflects capabilities of one of the
algorithms used in the Bio-Plugin™ system. System
capabilities are directly dependent on the deployed
algorithm.
