Identify an entity

Identifying an entity means establishing who a person is on the basis of their biometric objects. This is achieved by comparing a current biometric object with stored biometric objects of all or selected persons in the store, and determining with whom the biometric features match.

Identification is performed in two different ways:

  • An identification search compares a current biometric object of an unknown person with stored biometric objects of known persons, with the objective of determining the identity of the person.
  • A de-duplication search compares stored biometric objects of a known person with stored biometric objects of other known persons, with the objective of determining if the same person is enrolled with multiple different identities.

BioClient.Web offers these verify verbs:

identify-feature

This method determines the ientity of an unknown person.

Usage

Call the Javascript method bioClient.identify_feature(). This method is defined bioclient-plugin.js and calls build_identify_feature to build the BioClient.Web command, and calls identified_feature to process the response. See The BioClient Javascript plugin for information on how to use and customise the BioClient Javascript plugin.

Event handlers

The JS method bc_addButtonEvents defines event handlers for this method for all buttons and anchors of class identify-feature. It is recommended to use these event handlers.
