Fingerprint Utility API Toolkit

Mentalix's Fingerprint Utility API Toolkit offers extensive functionality for processing and manipulating scanned fingerprint cards and latent print images. The Utility Toolkit may be used stand-alone or in conjunction with Mentalix's other fingerprint API products, such as the Fingerprint Scan API Toolkit™ which enables FBI-certified scanning of fingerprints. These toolkits are for system integrators and programmers who provide electronic fingerprint identification systems to customers in the law enforcement industry. Additionally, they address the image acquisition needs of civilian, security and social service applications that require scanning solutions. The Utility Toolkit allows systems integrators and turnkey solution providers to jumpstart the creation of comprehensive fingerprint solutions.

The Fingerprint Utility Brochure (PDF format) includes the product overview from this page, plus a feature list.


Easy to integrate
The Fingerprint Utility API Toolkit simplifies the integration process, making it easy to add fingerprint image processing functions to your interface. Comprised of a single, platform-specific runtime library module, the product is available in a DLL for Windows® platforms and a shared library for UNIX® systems. On Windows platforms, the DLL is easily usable in C, Visual Basic and .NET development environments.

Reduces development effort
With its 'C' API, the Utility library module allows you to quickly add rich fingerprint image processing functionality to Windows or UNIX systems. The included subroutines provide significant core capabilities that minimize your overall efforts in providing end-user-ready systems.

Advanced fingerprint image processing functions
The Fingerprint Utility API Toolkit features advanced cropping, validation and quality assurance routines. Available functionality includes template creation and management, card scan integration, card image load/save, fingerprint cropping and validation, scan quality analysis and print display optimization. The Utility Toolkit also reads and writes NIST files and enables asynchronous scanning which works in the background, freeing up your computer for other tasks. With these added capabilities, your fingerprint scanning interface will provide a complete set of processing tools.

Comprehensive fingerprint solution
All of our Toolkits work stand-alone or in conjunction with each other. The Fingerprint Utility API Toolkit integrates smoothly with these products and is included in our Windows-only Fingerprint API Bundle™. Our Toolkits can also be combined and used together as a comprehensive 'C' API for fingerprint and non-fingerprint scanning applications. From fingerprint acquisition to image processing, Mentalix's API Toolkits enable smooth integration of a customized, complete fingerprint solution within your turnkey system.
