VILNIUS, Lithuania, June 1, 2016 Neurotechnology, a provider of high-precision biometric identification technologies, today released the new MegaMatcher 9.0 line of biometric software development kits. This release includes:

• New VeriLook 9.0 facial recognition algorithm. The algorithm provides five times higher accuracy in identifying full frontal faces and 10 to 15 times higher accuracy for unconstrained facial recognition, which makes it suitable for conducting automated facial image searches in large databases without the need for manual review. The faster face detection and more accurate estimation of facial attributes, including gender, smile, closed eyes, open mouth, glasses and dark glasses are also included. The algorithm is also included in MegaMatcher 9.0 SDK and MegaMatcher Accelerator 9.0.
• Enhanced VeriEye 9.0 iris algorithm. The algorithm improves extraction speed and iris segmentation quality. Also, it can accurately detect eyelids and can be used to locate irises in images that are captured in both the near-infrared range and in visible light. The iris image quality estimation is adapted to the newer ISO/IEC 29794-6:2015 standard. The algorithm is also included in MegaMatcher 9.0 SDK and MegaMatcher Accelerator 9.0.
• An easy-to-use face verification component for use in secure authentication applications such as mobile banking is included in the VeriLook 9.0 SDK and MegaMatcher 9.0 SDK.
• The VeriFinger 9.0 and VeriSpeak 9.0 SDKs feature the general SDK updates.
• The unified biometric SDK version numbering is introduced to provide more clear communication with customers.
