- Fixed an issue with automatic scan after manual on Integrated Biometrics.
- Updates and improvements:
- Thales Cogent CSD101i fingerprint scanner support added on Windows.
- Suprema RealScan FC palmprint scanner support added.
- Spoof support and smear detection added for Integrated Biometrics on Windows.
- Futronic scanners now supported on Android 10/11.

- Iris ID major stability rework.
New in VeriFinger Standard SDK 12.2 (Jul 13, 2021)
- Faces:
- Added the fastest extraction speed scenario for faces. It can be enabled using a parameter. This scenario is especially useful for devices with low compute power to improve extraction time. Obviously, this results in lower quality. Use this option only if default extraction speed was found unnaceptable.
- New face liveness detection mode optimized for high resolution images. Can be enabled using using a parameter.
- Face/not-face filtering for existing face templates. Latest face quality algorithm can be applied to existing templates generated even with previous versions of the SDK in order to accurately remove non-face images. This feature is enabled using a parameter. When enrolling face templates to engine, if a face does not pass quality threshold it means either there are no face or low quality face is present in template and ObjectNotFound NBiometricStatus is returned. It is possible to adjust the threshold.
- New high quality face photo background elimination algorithm. For mobile devices there is a special version which works a lot faster but is less accurate. User may choose between high quality and fast version using a parameter.
- More accurate face landmark detection.
- Irises:
- Possibility to automatically determine iris position. It is beneficial to set position to left or right for irises so that matching is done only with compatible position resulting in better performance. This feature can be enabled using a parameter.
- Improved iris extraction and matching algorithm. More accurate template is created when engine.TemplateSize=Large (default since this line). Iris templates are interoperable with the previous product lines.
- New features:
- Added parallel face extraction tutorial for C language which demonstrates how to perform tasks in parallel for maximum performance.
- Fixes:
- Fixed several issues in Activation Wizard.
- Fixed license generation bug on Android when using BouncyCastle as the security provider.
- Updates and improvements:
- Better interoperability with older SDK versions when using dongle licensing.
- Better issue diagnostics message on Android if Internet permission not present.
- Fingerprint scanners:
- Added DigitalPersona U.are.U support on ARM Linux.
- Added support for Jenetric LIVETOUCH QUATTRO Compact scanner. Updated Jeneteric's SDK which includes advanced spoof detection and some bug fixes.
- Added Mantra finger scanner module (MFS500 and MAPRO CX devices supported).
New in VeriFinger Standard SDK 11.2 (Sep 5, 2019)
- Algorithms:
- Improved fingerprint recognition algorithm which was recognized by NIST as the most interoperable and accurate fingerprint template generator and matcher in the world (submission Neurotechnology+010A in the NIST MINEX III evaluation).
- Improved face recognition algorithm which provides even better accuracy of face recognition using medium template size: with almost 6 times smaller algorithm deployment files size and 2 times faster extraction speed it reaches the same accuracy as the large template.
- New features:
- Added CropRect property to NEAttributes for returning cropping position when cropping standard iris images.
- Fixes:
- Fixed a bug when EnrollWithDuplicateCheck could sometimes not detect duplicates when multiple operations are started concurrently on very slow hardware.
- Fixed an issue with NFingerExaminer not failing on images which have small number of minutiae.
- Fixed an issue with Suprema RealScan-F not listed as palmprint scanner.
- Fixed a number of small bugs and issues.
- Updates and improvements:
- Optimized reading and writing ANTemplate XML files.
- More robust JPEG 2000 file handling.
- Scanners support:
- Added support for Suprema BioMini Slim 3.
- Added support for Integrated Biometrics Kojak 3.0.
- Faster start of Integrated Biometrics scans after the first scan on Android.
- Added image preview for DigitalPersona U.are.U scanners on Microsoft Windows (for models which support it)
New in VeriFinger Standard SDK 7.0 (Jan 9, 2018)
- New fingerprint recognition algorithm. New biometric engine with new simple API.
New in VeriFinger Standard SDK 6.4 (Dec 10, 2011)
- Improved fingerprint extraction and matching reliability.
