PLANO, Texas -- Mentalix, Inc. announces the release
of Version 3.0 of its Fingerprint
Scan API Toolkit. The Toolkit permits integrators
to add FBI-certified fingerprint card and latent print
scanning capabilities to custom security and law enforcement
systems. Version 3.0 includes a new FBI
IAFIS-certified runtime library that supports
the Epson Expression 1600 scanner on Windows(R). Non-certified
libraries for the Epson Expression 1600 running on
several UNIX platforms are also available in this
release.
Product Information:
With its 'C' API, the Fingerprint Scan API Toolkit
allows integrators to provide a scanning interface
for users of Windows 95/98/NT/2000 and UNIX(R) systems
as well as multi-platform environments. Features include
a fingerprint definition template for support of non-U.S.
fingerprint cards or for custom applications, plus
"drop in" software updates for taking advantage of
new features and advances in hardware technology.
Mentalix offers several scanner/platform-specific
library modules, each certified
by the FBI as being compliant with the Appendix
F Image Quality Specifications for 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 add-on Fingerprint
Utility API Toolkit(TM) enables additional
fingerprint image processing functionality, including
cropping, card validation and image analysis routines.
Mentalix (info@mentalix.com)
also offers the Pixel!SCAN
API Toolkit(TM), an add-on product that may
be used with the Fingerprint Scan API Toolkit to handle
both fingerprint scanning and more general-purpose
scanning needs, such as acquiring electronic versions
of mug shot photos and documentation associated with
suspect records.
