FaceVACS-SDK is a development tool that provides the native face recognition engine to System Integrators, Value Added Resellers and Customers.  The basic biometric functionality of enrollment, verification and identification works on either image data or on intensity and shape image data.  The interfaces are available in a variety of programming languages and on the most common operating systems without any trailers like required databases, application frameworks, etc.  A set of tools and the documentation allow for an efficient development whereby the (re-) deployment requires only a small set of binary libraries.
