Ive heard that there are multiple versions of BioAPI. Which one is supported by the BioFoundry® SDK?
The BioFoundry® SDK implements the most recent version of the international BioAPI standard, the ISO BioAPI 2.0. For more details on BioAPI see www.bioapi.org. However, the BioFoundry® SDK includes components that allow backward-compatibility with BioAPI 1.1 Biometric Service Providers. Is the processing and/or matching speed affected by using BioAPI? What about the matching accuracy? The delay introduced by BioAPI is negligible. BioAPI has no impact on the accuracy of the Biometric matching. I use a Biometric technology that complies with Data interchange formats standards, why do I need to use BioAPI? BioAPI and Biometric Data interchange formats standards complement each other. Data interchange formats allow Biometric records portability across different vendors and applications, so that different Biometric vendors understand each others data. For example, the Biometric data that you enroll using a Biometric technology that complies with Data interchange formats can be processed or
