MegaMatcher ABIS 12.1 on-premise solution includes these services and applications:
Megamatcher ABIS Client Applications
MegaMatcher ABIS Client Applications are modular web-based applications designed to operate with the MegaMatcher ABIS solution. They provide the following functionalities:
- Multi-biometrics support – fingerprint, palmprint, face and iris biometric modalities are supported.
- Live biometric capture – a wide range of biometric devices is supported, including more than 150 fingerprint readers and iris scanners models, as well as out-of-the-shelf web and IP cameras. Person's biometric is captured in real time from stationary or mobile enrollment stations.
- Quality assessment – evaluation of biometric data quality based on standard and proprietary algorithms
- ICAO compliant facial image capturing – checks image pixelation, washed out colors, background uniformity, face darkness, skin tone, skin reflections, glasses reflections, red eyes and looking away eyes. The red eyes can be corrected automatically.
- Document scanning – data from passports and other personal ID documents can be imported using specialized scanners and automatically recognized.

- Identity lifecycle management – includes registration, update and delete procedures.
- Configurable workflow – possibility to define project specific matching and adjudication rules.
- Customizable personal record – may include a user defined set of biographic attributes, documents and biometric modalities.
- Adjudication – decision making on complex biometric operations, which can be based on automatic rulesets o r forwarding the cases to human operators, who will review them using a specialized visual tool.
- Galleries – grouping identities by certain attributes (i.e. geographic region, data owner), organizing them into separate and isolated watchlists and providing restricted access to each of them for specific users. This way multiple agencies can use the same system for their specific needs.
- System Management – provides ability to manage MegaMatcher ABIS system's state.
- System Monitoring – dedicated for visual MegaMatcher ABIS real-time execution monitoring.
- User Management – dedicated to create and revoke users as well as provide or restrict access permissions to particular MegaMatcher ABIS modules.
- System Configuration – provides ability to define criteria for search engine (such as matching thresholds for identification and verification).
- Report Generation –statistical reports with filtering possibility are provided for full MegaMatcher ABIS actions inspection.
Megamatcher ABIS API
MegaMatcher ABIS API is a web services-based interface (RESTful) designed for easy and quick integration with third-party systems. It provides all necessary functionalities including identity management, adjudication and system administration. Integrators can develop client-side applications using the MegaMatcher ABIS API to meet specific requirements.
Management Service
MegaMatcher ABIS is designed to maintain system's integrity ensuring that individual operations are executed consistently. The Management Service is the core component of MegaMatcher ABIS responsible for orchestrating the work of all system services and managing the workflow of operations.
- Validation – ensures the sufficiency of provided biometric and demographic data.
- Data preparation – conducts biometric data quality analysis, adjustments and biometric template extraction.
- Matching – conducts biometric comparison using predefined parameters.
- Adjudication – manual inspection of matching results.
Image Processing Service
The Image Processing Service is based on MegaMatcher 12.1 biometric template extraction technology. This component is used for biometric data quality assessment and biometric data extraction from fingerprint, palmprint, face and iris image
These functions are performed by the Image Processing Service:
Matching Service
The Matching Service is a high-performance biometric engine which performs the following operations:
The service must be added to MegaMatcher Accelerator 12.1 and it allows the engine to execute ABIS specific functionalities.
The Matching Service is a scalable unit controlled by the Management Service. Multiple units can be arranged into a cluster to meet performance and capacity requirements for a specific project. Each particular Matching Service unit requires to be connected to the corresponding MegaMatcher Accelerator unit.
Customization
Taking into account different business needs and specific project requirements, some customization might be required. This may include developing custom user interface, workflow scenarios, person's record structure (biometric and demographic data, additional data fields).
Neurotechnology offers custom project development service for providing a customized MegaMatcher ABIS based solution, as well as implementing additional functionality.
