ABIS® Search Engine


The technology core for building large-scale multi-biometric solutions.


ABIS® Search Engine, a product in L-1’s ABIS® System identity management suite, is a multi-biometric identification platform that may be used either on its own or with other ABIS® System products to build biometric identity management solutions. ABIS® Search Engine offers L-1’s high quality face recognition, fingerprint and iris biometrics that have performed in the top tier of monitored government benchmarks. These biometrics may be used stand alone or in any combination to support multi-modal identity management. ABIS® Search Engine can be deployed in a wide range of solution scales, from modest single server identification systems up to the largest national-scale multi-biometric identity management solutions on server grids.

ABIS® Search Engine offer:

  • Exceptional accuracy:
    Uses superior underlying FaceIt® facial recognition, BioEngine® fingerprint matching and Daugman iris-matching technologies.
  • More robust performance:
    Scalable architecture built to handle multiple biometrics and scale to handle very demanding throughputs with built-in fault tolerance.
  • Lower development and implementation costs:
    Open, standards-based architecture relies on COTS hardware and databases and has built-in applications for easy integration.
