Hi, obviously I am not Daniel, but I can answer your questions
upekts does *not* support identification, due to a difference in its inner workings (it uses the hardware itself to do the matching, and the part of the protocol used for identification or image functions is not known, although the device itself is capable of such functions with windows) any other image-based sensor (i.e. sensor with driver that actually uses libfprint for matching) will do identification, though don't quite understand what you mean by "image" sensor, as swipe sensors also provide a result as an image, or rather a series of image that is used to reconstruct the fingerprint. the difference between touch and swipe sensors is that swipe sensors are smaller, capable of providing longer (and variable length) images, somewhat more difficult to use, and the driver is a little bit more complicated (due to the image reconstruction part). one more quirk of touch based sensors is you leaving the actual fingerprint right on the device, but that is probably irrelevant hope that helps Pavel Herrmann On Saturday 29 May 2010 02:06:21 Martin Green wrote: > Hi > > Quick one: > > Does the upekts driver support identification? i.e. scan 20 people, then > scan 1 person and identify them? > > I can't quite tell from your web page > > Thanks > > Martin Green > > P.S.
