Method Detail

• version

  public static String version()

  Gets version of the currently running SourceAFIS. This is useful during upgrades when the application has to deal with possible template incompatibility between versions.

  Returns:

  SourceAFIS version in a three-part 1.2.3 format

• convert

  public static FingerprintTemplate convert(byte[] template)

  Converts foreign fingerprint template to native SourceAFIS template. This is a convenience wrapper around convertAll(byte[]) that returns the first fingerprint in the template or throws if there are none.

  This method accepts all template formats documented on the template formats website and implemented in FingerprintIO, specifically all versions of ANSI 378 and the initial version of ISO 19794-2. Foreign template can come from feature extractor other than SourceAFIS.

  Parameters:

  template - imported foreign template in one of the supported formats

  Returns:

  converted native template

  Throws:

  NullPointerException - if template is null

  IllegalArgumentException - if template contains no fingerprints

  RuntimeException - if template is in an unsupported format or it is corrupted

  convertAll(byte[]), toAnsiIncits378v2004(FingerprintTemplate...), Supported fingerprint template formats

• convertAll

  public static List<FingerprintTemplate> convertAll(byte[] template)

  Converts foreign fingerprint template to a list of native SourceAFIS templates. This method accepts all template formats documented on the template formats website and implemented in FingerprintIO, specifically all versions of ANSI 378 and the initial version of ISO 19794-2. Foreign template can come from feature extractor other than SourceAFIS. Several native templates can be returned, because many foreign template formats can contain multiple fingerprints.

  Parameters:

  template - imported foreign template in one of the supported formats

  Returns:

  list of native templates containing fingerprints from the foreign template

  Throws:

  NullPointerException - if template is null

  RuntimeException - if template is in an unsupported format or it is corrupted

• toAnsiIncits378v2004

  public static byte[] toAnsiIncits378v2004(FingerprintTemplate... templates)

  Converts native fingerprint template to ANSI 378-2004 template. This method produces fingerprint template conforming to ANSI INCITS 378-2004. The template can then be used by fingerprint matcher other than SourceAFIS. Several native templates can be supplied, because ANSI 378 template can contain multiple fingerprints.

  Parameters:

  templates - list of native SourceAFIS templates to export

  Returns:

  ANSI 378-2004 template

  Throws:

  NullPointerException - if templates or any of its items is null

• toAnsiIncits378v2009

  public static byte[] toAnsiIncits378v2009(FingerprintTemplate... templates)

  Converts native fingerprint template to ANSI 378-2009 template. This method produces fingerprint template conforming to ANSI INCITS 378-2009[R2014]. The template can then be used by fingerprint matcher other than SourceAFIS. Several native templates can be supplied, because ANSI 378 template can contain multiple fingerprints.

  Parameters:

  templates - list of native SourceAFIS templates to export

  Returns:

  ANSI 378-2009 template

  Throws:

  NullPointerException - if templates or any of its items is null

• toAnsiIncits378v2009AM1

  public static byte[] toAnsiIncits378v2009AM1(FingerprintTemplate... templates)

  Converts native fingerprint template to ANSI 378-2009/AM1 template. This method produces fingerprint template conforming to ANSI INCITS 378:2009/AM 1:2010[R2015]. The template can then be used by fingerprint matcher other than SourceAFIS. Several native templates can be supplied, because ANSI 378 template can contain multiple fingerprints.

  Parameters:

  templates - list of native SourceAFIS templates to export

  Returns:

  ANSI 378-2009/AM1 template

  Throws:

  NullPointerException - if templates or any of its items is null
