Product revision: 115491

The first release of MegaMatcher 5.0 SDK line.

Enhanced overall accuracy and speed of the biometric algorithms:
- Facial recognition algorithm detects faces up to two times faster than the previous version. It also offers improved face feature determination, faster face extraction speeds, higher accuracy and recognition from longer video streams.
- Updates to the fingerprint segmentation algorithm provide greater precision at a wider range of finger positions. The new recognition algorithm provides up to 60% better False Rejection Rate (FRR) when set at the same False Acceptance Rate (FAR) level.
- Iris image quality assessment has been updated.
New NBiometricEngine and NBiometricsClient API. New API is simpler and more intuitive to use while still providing all of the functionality and flexibility customers have come to expect from MegaMatcher. Now the same API can be used for internal matching as well as matching in MegaMatcher Server, MegaMatcher Cluster Server and MegaMatcher Accelerator.
The new versions utilize available multicore processor capabilities for multimodal enrollment and matching.
Fingerprint scanner modules changes:
- Futronic updated
- UareU updated, new modules supported 5100, 5200
- Lumidigm updated
- Added support for new SecuGen devices (SecuGen 20)
