Biometrics chose Neurotechnologija's VeriFinger 4.2 algorithm for
fingerprint enrollment, verification and identification in their
flagship product, the BiRD Touchless Fingerprint Sensor with Live
Finger Detection.
TST Biometrics provides touchless fingerprint technology solutions and
consulting for public, industrial and private clients in strategic
markets in Europe and around the globe. From its research and
development center in Munich, Germany and corporate sales offices in
Munich and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, TST Biometrics works with a
network of global partners, providing comprehensive solutions for the
most demanding, mission-critical access control, personal
identification and verification applications.
TST BiRD Touchless Fingerprint Sensor with Live Finger Detection
The BiRD's unique "touchless" fingerprint capture takes place over a
large area facilitated by an ergonomically designed finger guide. The
finger does not actually contact the scanning surface, which eliminates
latent fingerprints and sensitivity to abrasions or contamination
caused by any direct contact. The integrated camera generates a high
definition picture without deformation of the finger shape, allowing
for a wide demographic population sample to be scanned successfully.
The fingerprint image is encoded and specific fingerprint matching
points, or minutiae, are extracted and used for subsequent comparison.
VeriFinger Fingerprint
Identification Algorithm Provides the Accuracy and Speed Required for
the BiRD's High Security Applications
Once the
fingerprint image is captured, the process of identifying its unique
characteristics begins. Sophisticated algorithms are required to
analyze and match the fingerprint minutiae to create a positive
identification. Because the BiRD is used for time/attendance and access
control for mission-critical applications such as national border
controls and high security areas like nuclear power plants, TST
Biometrics needed a fingerprint identification algorithm that would
provide a high degree of accuracy along with fast performance.
After a careful evaluation of the top
algorithms in the market, TST Biometrics chose VeriFinger because of
its strong combination of reliability, accuracy and speed.
"VeriFinger offers one of the
highest quality algorithms on the market, and that level of reliability
is extremely important to our high security clients," said Martin Vierthaler, director of international sales for TST Biometrics.
"VeriFinger's
fast matching speed also makes the BiRD more convenient for end-users
because they do not have to wait more than one or two seconds for their
fingerprints to match."
TST Biometrics
used the VeriFinger Standard Software Development Kit (SDK) to
incorporate the VeriFinger 4.2 algorithm into the BiRD's biometric
manager software, enabling the BiRD's high performance touchless
scanners to provide avery high degree of speed and accuracy.
About VeriFinger
The VeriFinger fingerprint recognition algorithm
from Neurotechnologija is designed for use by biometric system
integrators and provides the capabilities of the most powerful
fingerprint recognition algorithms at a highly competitive price.
VeriFinger's fingerprint matching has been
proven to be one of the fastest and most reliable among competing
identification algorithms in some of the industry's most rigorous
competitions.*
By combining a commonly accepted fingerprint identification scheme with
Neurotechnologija's proprietary algorithmic solutions that enhance
system performance and reliability, the VeriFinger algorithm provides
fast, reliable matching of specific fingerprint minutiae points for
both one-to-one and one-to-many matching.
VeriFinger SDK
enables the rapid development and integration of biometric applications
by giving integrators complete control over the SDK data input and
output. As one of the most widely compatible fingerprint identification
and matching SDKs in the industry, VeriFinger SDK can be used with any
scanner, any database and any user interface on Microsoft Windows,
Linux and Mac OS X operating systems.

Neurotechnologija ranked among the top five companies for accuracy in
single-finger tests in the National Institute of Standards &
Technology (NIST)'s Fingerprint Vendor Technology Evaluation for the US
Department of Justice; and the company's algorithms have consistently
won gold, silver and bronze medals in International Fingerprint
Verification Competitions (FVC2004, FVC2002 and FVC2000).
