SOAP Class Sample

Base class for any kind of samples (patterns for the different traits).

[DataContract(Namespace = "http://schemas.bioid.com/2011/12/bws")]
public class Sample
{
    [DataMember]
    public Trait Trait { get; set; }

    public byte[] Data { get; set; }

}

Sample.Trait

The Trait this sample belongs to.

Sample.Tag

An optional tag associated with this sample. The value of this tag is intended to be one or more strings (concatenated with a space), that describes some kind of demand or characteristics of the sample. The interpretation depends on the trait of the sample, the operation performed and the flags specified with the operation.

For example, face or periocular samples used with liveness detection can specify the expected head movement direction relative to the preceding sample (up, down, left, right). In case you expect that the person in front of the camera moved his head horizontally you can set the tag "right left".

Supported Formats

Images

Images can be sent in various formats including BMP, GIF, TIFF, JPEG and PNG files. Anyway, as it is common and reasonable to compress images that are sent over the Internet, we highly recommend to use lossless compression mechanisms like PNG's Deflate algorithm.
