Standards support – In addition to legacy DigitalPersona image and minutiae formats, the U.are.U SDKs offer support for the following standards:
- ISO 19794-4:2005, Fingerprint Image standard.
- ANSI/INCITS 381-2009, Finger Image Based Data Interchange Format.
- ISO/IEC 19794-2:2005, Biometric data interchange format.
- ANSI INCITS 378-2004 Finger minutiae data format.
- MINEX (Minutiae Exchange) Certification - DigitalPersona submitted its FingerJet minutiae extraction SDK to the ongoing MINEX program. The FingerJet extractor was certified to create MINEX compliant templates.
- WSQ – includes support for Aware WSQ1000 SDK and NIST WSQ algorithm (U.are.U for Windows and for Linux SDKs only).
- NIST FINGERPRINT IMAGE QUALITY (NFIQ) – Includes built-in support for the Aware NFIQ algorithm as well. (U.are.U for Windows and for Linux SDKs only).
Embedded CPU architectures –U.are.U SDKs for Linux and Windows CE now support ARM CPU architectures enabling developers to create embedded application.
Integrated 1:n identification – The U.are.U SDKs support for 1:n identification, integrated into the FingerJet engine. No helper SDKs are needed.
