Mentalix Releases Low Cost Fingerprint Scan API Toolkit(TM)
Library
Epson Perfection 1640SU Scanner Support Added
PLANO, Texas -- Mentalix, Inc. announces the availability
of a new low cost fingerprint card scanning library
with Version 3.1 of its Fingerprint
Scan API Toolkit. The library supports the
Epson Perfection 1640SU desktop scanner, and offers
scan and process speeds of 30 seconds or less for
a complete 10-print fingerprint card. The Perfection
1640SU runtime library processes individual cards
two to three times faster than comparable systems,
yet costs approximately $2,500 less for the overall
solution.
The new runtime library can be used as a "drop in"
replacement or upgrade for existing fingerprint solutions.
The Toolkit allows integrators to provide a fingerprint
card and latent print scanning interface for users
of Windows NT/2000(R) and UNIX(R) systems as well
as multi-platform systems. Features include support
for non-U.S. fingerprint cards or for custom applications
and a choice of several scanner/platform-specific
libraries, each certified by the FBI as being
compliant with its Integrated Automated Fingerprint
Identification System (IAFIS). Certified runtime library
modules are available for 500 ppi 10-print card scans
and 1000 ppi latent print scans. The software works
stand-alone, but can also be enhanced with Mentalix's
other API products which provide FBI-certified
WSQ compression/decompression, automated fingerprint
image cropping and color image scanning for non-fingerprint
images such as mug shots.
