Software Developer's Kit

The ActiveID SDK is a complete software developers kit containing a library of functions providing 3D face recognition technology. The main capability of the library is to perform accurate one-to-one 3D face comparison and fast one-to-many search over a collection of 3D faces using the Geometrix 3D face biometric template. The library includes functions for:

  • Capture
  • Enrollment
  • Verification
  • Identification
  • Export
The SDK can be integrated with ALIVE stereo sensors or third party 3D cameras. 3D face templates can also be computed from pre-existing 3D face meshes.

If used with ALIVE sensors, the library can generate and export textured 3D face models in several standard formats.

The SDK library is provided as a set of DLLs, with C-language interface functions. SDK capabilities include:

  • Write your own programs/applications using Geometrix 3D face recognition technology.
  • Easily use any 3D sensor to capture faces.
  • Compute enrollment or verification templates.
  • Accurate one-to-one 3D face comparison.
  • Fast one-to-many matching of 3D faces at the rate of 100,000 per second.
  • Can be combined (optional) with any third party 2D face recognition software (SDK or Plug-in) or other biometrics.
  • Easy to use C-style interface.
  • Simple code for all typical tasks.
  • Interface structured as 5 DLLs (Capture, Compute, Compare, I/O, Export).
  • Designed for Windows Operating Systems.
