Fingerprint Recogn ition Software Development Kit(SDK) for MS Windows
Introduction
Futronic’s MS Windows Fingerprint Recognition Software Development
Kit(SDK) is an excellent tool for users to develop their own MS Windows
based fingerprint recognition application software. It works seamlessly with
the Futronic FS80 USB2.0 fingerprint scanner. With the SDK, you can make
use of Futronic proprietary fingerprint recognition algorithm without knowing
the details of a purely mathematical process. So fingerprint recognition can
be integrated into any application program to REPLACE the users’ Logon
password by a touch of finger in MS Windows platform to make your system
more secure and user administration easier
Major SDK features
Standard SDK package includes example The SDK is implemented as Win32 API dynamic-link library (DLL). To make
programs with source code to show how to use of it, function call can be made to the DLL from any application program
use the SDK for the following development in Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista 32bit environment. It has the following
platforms: major features:
¾ VB6 and VC6 ¾ Capturing fingerprint image from Futronic FS80 USB2.0 fingerprint
¾ Borland Delphi scanner
¾ VB.Net and VC.net ¾ Extracting fingerprint characteristics(minutiae) from the captured image
¾ VB.2005 and VC.2005 and creating a template which can be used:
¾ JAVA For registration, the template will be stored in the database
For authentication, the template will be matched to

Some brief explanation Who is the SDK for?
¾ A fingerprint must be registered in a system before it can be used for
authentication. Application software developers who
¾ During registration, the fingerprint image is captured by using a fingerprint want to add secure but convenient
scanner. Then the system will extract the fingerprint’s characteristics(minutiae)
from the captured image and create a fingerprint registration template which is fingerprint authentication into any MS
stored in any non-volatile memory space. Windows based application software
¾ To do user authentication, fingerprint is captured again and the system will create
an accessing fingerprint template using the same method as creating a for easy user management and more
registration template. Then it will compare the accessing template with the secure logon control. The SDK can be
registration template to determine if there is a "match" or "no match".
¾ If an user ID is provided, the system will compare the accessing template to the used to make application programs for
registration template of this particular user ID. This is called verification (1-to-1 both standalone PC and many PCs
matching).
¾ If a user ID is not provided, the system will compare the accessing template to all connected in any networking
the registration templates stored in the system. This is called identification environment.
(1-to-many matching).
