Question: How can I improve the identification speed on my fingerprint database?

Answer:

To improve the identification speed check if you are doing the following:

  1. Use "Identify" instead of "Verify". "Identify" is much faster than
    "Verify" for searchings in database. Remove the "Verify" from your
    program.
  2. Check if the IdentifyPrepare is inside the loop. If it is, put it
    out. You need to pass by IdentifyPrepare only once.
  3. Another possibility is an implementation of more than one server.
    Using (and distributing data to) two or more servers can avoid problems
    (for example, if one server has problems, there are other servers to
    replace it) and increase the matching speed.

    • Note that the identification speeds from 5000/s to 15000/s are
      acceptable in most of environments. Higher speed taxes are obtained
      in controlled conditions.
