Supported face capture cameras

See also the lists of supported fingerprint readers and iris scanners.

These cameras are supported by MegaMatcher SDK:

  • Any webcam or camera that is accessible using:
    • DirectShow, Windows Media or Media Foundation interfaces for Microsoft Windows platform.
    • GStreamer interface for Linux or Mac platform.
  • Any built-in smartphone or tablet camera that is supported by iOS or Android OS. The camera should have at least 0.3 MegaPixel (640 x 480 pixels) resolution.
  • Any IP camera, that supports RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol):
    • Only RTP over UDP is supported.
    • VLC framework can be optionally used for reading video streams.
    • H.264/MPEG-4 AVC or Motion JPEG should be used for encoding the video stream.
  • These advanced cameras are supported:
    • Akiyama Akys-10 Biometric Camera
    • BioRugged BioWolf DEZ – multi-biometric tablet with iris scanner, face capture camera and fingerprint reader
    • CMITech EF-45NC and EMX-30 – face & iris cameras (Microsoft Windows only)
    • Iris ID iCAM R100 and iCAM TD100 – face & iris cameras (Microsoft Windows only)
    • VistaFA2 / VistaFA2E / VistaEY2 face & iris cameras (Microsoft Windows only)
  • Still camera support is provided through integration with SDKs supplied by the relevant camera manufacturers for Microsoft Windows platform. Integrators should refer to the supported-camera list published for the corresponding manufacturer's SDK. Neurotechnology cannot provide certification or specification that a particular camera model is supported. However, a specific camera model can be tested with our SDK trial (download).
    Supported manufacturer SDK integrations include:
    • Canon EOS cameras SDK
    • Nikon DSLR cameras SDK
  • Cameras, which can operate in near-infrared spectrum, can be used for image capture. MegaMatcher/VeriLook algorithm is able to match faces, captured in near-infrared spectrum, against faces, captured in visible light. See the VeriLook algorithm testing results for details.
  • Integrators can also write plug-ins to support their cameras using the plug-in framework provided with the Device Manager from the MegaMatcher SDK.

Simultaneous capture from multiple cameras is possible.

A video file can be also used as a data source for applications based on MegaMatcher SDK.
