FAST21 is a unique minutiae extraction and matching algorithm for identification (1:N) and verification (1:1).  FAST21 requires only a single PC, to provide a desirable performace for a small to a mid scale system: 

• FAR < 0.0002% and FRR < 0.05% using FP-Plus and FP-50LSC
• FAR < 0.0001% and FRR < 0.01% using FP-200LSC 
• FAR < 0.001% and FRR < 0.1% using FP-Stick
• Wide range of finger placement position (rotation angle up to 180°)
• Pre-process to enhance a fingerprint image of a dry/wet finger
• Template size can be as small as 97 bytes for smart card verification
• The standard matching routine needs the template size 128 bytes
• The high accuracy matching routine requires the template size 256 bytes
• Bio-API, ANSI INCITS 378-2004, and BAPI compliance
• Can be integrated with any sensors (256 grayscale, 500dpi minimum)

FAST21 is an Application Program Interface (API) for implementing a versatile fingerprint matching system that is tailored for individual requirement such as improvement and maintenance of a high security system by adding or embedding API to an existing system.

FAST 21 is a fast fingerprint identification algorithm supporting a large-scale network administration including a client-server and a web application systems.

FAST 21 is a compact and light weight software that can be embedded in to a various devices. For example, we successfully embedded in  a smart card that has the ISO7816 compliance.

• FAST-Verify is the library module for 1:1 verification.
• FAST-Identify is the library module for 1: N identification.
• FP-RADAR BASE II SDK for controlling FP-RADAR BASE II plug-in card. 
• FADT SDK for DSP daughterboard.
• Card SDK for smart card applications  (verification only).

FAST21 SDK calls our propriety minutiae extraction method, and outouts our template format and/or a standard template which complies with ANSI INCITS 378-2004 "Finreprint Minutiae Format for Data Interchange." Figure below show NIST's sample minutiae extraction and our extraction from the same fingerprint image.

Red spots show the minutiae positions and the yellow bars indicate their directions following the standard.

FAST21 has preprocess to enhance fingerprint images prior to extract minutia.
