BioComponents™ are Aware’s family of independent, modular software components designed for rapid implementation of browser-based biometric enrollment applications. They enable high configurability in functionality and workflow, and support a wide range of biometric tasks such as fingerprint, face, and iris recognition, as well as biometric data capture, validation, hardware abstraction, quality assurance, and networking. Each component is self-contained, runs in any modern browser, and can be used together or independently to build custom applications with unique business rules and user interfaces.

Key Features

BioComponents Framework

• Modularity: Each component is independent and self-contained, allowing for flexible application design and integration.
• Browser-based: Runs in any modern browser, supporting cross-platform deployment.
• Configurable Workflows: Predefined workflows can be configured or completely replaced to match specific application needs.
• Custom UI Integration: Components can be embedded into customer-designed user interfaces for a tailored look and feel.
• Hardware Abstraction: Abstracts underlying biometric hardware, supporting a wide range of devices and vendors.
• Quality Assurance: Real-time and post-capture quality analysis for biometric images and data.
• Biometric Data Management: Supports capture, validation, processing, and submission of biometric and biographic data.
• Standards Compliance: Ensures compliance with FBI, ISO, and other international biometric standards.

Component-Specific Features

• FingerprintComponent: Real-time quality analysis, hardware abstraction, segmentation, sequence checking, and FBI-certified image compression.
• PhotoComponent: Face capture, camera abstraction, real-time and post-capture quality analysis, image processing, and support for multiple camera types.
• ScanningComponent: Flatbed scanner abstraction, form scanning, cropping, and FBI-certified image quality compliance.
• PrintingComponent: Printing of fingerprint cards and forms, image mapping, and simulation of grayscale images.
• NISTComponent: Biographic and textual data entry, NIST compliance checking, data set management, and transaction submission.
