VeriLook SDK System Requirements

• PC or Mac with x86 (32-bit) or x86-64 (64-bit) compatible processors. 2GHz or better processor is recommended.
• At least 128 MB of free RAM should be available for the application. Additional RAM is required for applications that perform 1-to-many identification, as all biometric templates need to be stored in RAM for matching. For example, 10,000 templates (each containing 1 face record) require about 24 MB of additional RAM.
• Free space on hard disk drive (HDD):
  • at least 1 GB required for the development.
  • 100 MB required for VeriLook components deployment.
  • Additional space would be required in these cases:
    • VeriLook does not require the original face image to be stored for the matching; only the templates need to be stored. However, storing face images on hard drive for the potential future usage is recommended.
    • Usually a database engine runs on a separate computer (back-end server). However, DB engine can be installed on the same computer for standalone applications. In this case HDD space for templates storage must be available. For example, 10,000 templates (each containing 1 face record) stored using a relational database would require about 30 MB of free HDD space. Also, the database engine itself requires HDD space for running. Please refer to HDD space requirements from the database engine providers.
• Camera or webcam. These cameras are supported by VeriLook:
  • Any webcam or camera that is accessible using:
    • DirectShow interface for Microsoft Windows platform.
    • GStreamer interface for Linux platform.
    • QuickTime interface for Mac platform.
  • Also these specific models of high-resolution cameras are supported:
    • Axis M1114 camera (Microsoft Windows and Linux)
    • Cisco 4500 IP camera (Microsoft Windows only)
    • IrisGuard IG-AD100 – face & iris camera (Microsoft Windows only)
    • Mobotix DualNight M12 IP camera (Microsoft Windows and Linux)
    • PiXORD N606 camera (Microsoft Windows and Linux)
    • Prosilica GigE Vision camera (Microsoft Windows only)
    • Sony SNC-CS50 camera (Microsoft Windows and Linux)
    • VistaFA2 / VistaFA2E / VistaEY2 face & iris cameras (Microsoft Windows only)
    • VistaMT Multimodal Biometric Device (Microsoft Windows only)
  • Integrators can also write a plug-in to support their cameras using the plug-in framework provided with the Device Manager from the VeriLook SDK.
• Database engine or connection with it. VeriLook templates can be saved into any DB (including files) supporting binary data saving. VeriLook Extended SDK contains the following support modules for Matching Server:
  • Microsoft SQL Server (only for Microsoft Windows platform);
  • PostgreSQL (for Microsoft Windows and Linux platform);
  • MySQL (for Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms);
  • Oracle (for Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms);
  • SQLite (for all platforms).
• Network/LAN connection (TCP/IP) for client/server applications. Also, network connection is required for using Matching server component (included in VeriLook Extended SDK). Communication with Matching server is not encrypted therefore, if communication must be secured, a dedicated network (not accessible outside the system) or a secured network (such as VPN; VPN must be configured using operating system or third party tools) is recommended.
• Microsoft Windows specific requirements:
  • Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7 / Server 2003/ Server 2008, 32-bit or 64-bit.
  • Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 or newer (for .NET components usage).
  • Microsoft DirectX 9.0 or later (for camera/webcam usage).
  • One of following development environments for application development:
    • Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 SP1 or newer (for application development under C/C++, C#, Visual Basic .Net)
    • Sun Java 1.5 SDK or later
    • Delphi 7
• Linux specific requirements:
  • Linux 2.6 or newer kernel, 32-bit or 64-bit.
  • glibc 2.7 or newer
  • GStreamer 0.10.23 (with gst-plugin-base and gst-plugin-good) or newer (for face capture using camera/webcam)
  • udev-143 or newer with libudev (for camera usage)
  • GTK+ 2.10.x or newer libs and dev packages (to run SDK samples and applications based on them)
  • GCC-4.0.x or newer (for application development)
  • GNU Make 3.81 or newer (for application development)
  • Sun Java 1.5 SDK or later (for application development with Java)
  • pkg-config-0.21 or newer (optional; only for Matching Server database support modules compilation)
• Mac OS X specific requirements:
  • Mac OS X (version 10.4 or newer)
  • QuickTime (for camera/webcam usage)
  • XCode 2.4 or newer (for application development)
