GRI’s recently released HBOX® SDK Net programming interface library can be implemented by many different programming languages (VB.Net, C#, C++/CLI, Java, C++).

Standard 3rd party network security protocols can be used on top of TCP/IP, and in addition, GRI is developing its own security protocols.

The HBOXSDKNet is now available to customers who wish to integrate the HBOX® into their own solution. The HBOXSDKNet exposes a set of programming interfaces to allow communication between a client applications and the HBOX® device for iris and facial image acquisition.

Wireless can be added via the USB or TCP/IP network connector.

As described in the answer to Q02, the data acquisition and iris match components are entirely separate. An iris image is the interface between the two modules. This iris image can be stored along with any iris scan representation produced by the iris match component.

The statistical false positive rate is the same as the false positive rate for the matcher being used in HBOX®. In more detail, HBOX® has 2 separate components: data acquisition and iris matching. These components have been logically separated so that any iris match algorithm can be used by the customer.  Much work has been performed on iris matching, and performance rates for various matchers are well understood and published (for example, the ICE challenge). GRI has also developed its own matcher that addresses many issues related to unobtrusive matching.

Unlike other iris systems that only acquire imagery at one time instant (which may be a time instant when the iris is completely visible or obscured as described above), HBOX^® technology acquires imagery at many time instants with the objective of acquiring successively better quality imagery over time.
