A finger record is created for use in the search database and subsequent search process. That record is provided to the user application for storage. Searching In requesting a search, the user application must have previously loaded the appropriate search database stored in the application into the East Shore supplied search engine. The user's application then sends the finger image and any related filter data for the person being searched to the engine. The data and image are processed and a new search record is created.
Identity is determined based on closeness of fit.
Results are a score. Providing a score gives the application developer flexibility in setting identity level thresholds. Insights regarding appropriate score values are provided. Applications Limited database fingerprint searching may be applied in many of the same areas as verification.
