image conversion and manipulation. It includes an Image Processing Library,
Feature Extraction support library and other related tools to support the
development of customer applications and Feature Extractors. The SDK could be
enhanced to support other non-image datatypes to allow the creation of a wider
range of multimedia or rich data type feature extractors.

test/sample programs).
Excalibur Face DataBlade Description (EFR)
Excalibur is providing ImageWare with an "as is" source code license for the EFR
DataBlade. Additionally Excalibur is providing an "as is" source code license
for the Excalibur Face Recognition SDK and a binary copy of the current version
of Visual RetrievalWare.
The EFR DataBlade Module is based on feature vector algorithms and processing
techniques unique to Excalibur. This DataBlade will allow the creation of user
applications to create databases based on the characteristics, or features,
extracted from a face. These features will be learned into image indices (using
the secondary access method, efrnet), and will be used to search for images
containing characteristics similar to a clue image.
The EFR DataBlade will consist of the following components:
- THE FACE CLIENT COMPONENT. This component contains the client
functions that perform the necessary preprocessing steps on an image that
contains one or more faces.
- THE FACE FEATURES COMPONENT. A variety of types and server
functions that make up the efrnet secondary access method. This access method
will provide the necessary functions to create and maintain face indices, and
allows for indexing and searching a database of faces.
- THE FACE PROCESSING COMPONENT. This component provides the server
functions to support indexing, search and retrieval of face images. The
function, which extracts the facial features, will be included in this group, as
will the positive identification capability.
- SQL interface for client application development. The SQL API will allow
third parties to develop database applications that incorporate tables
derived from the results of learning image data into indices produced by the
EFR DataBlade.
Excalibur Face Recognition SDK
The Excalibur Face Recognition SDK, provides an API for indexing, searching and
retrieving face images. Components of the Face SDK are embedded within the EFR
DataBlade. Additionally, specific Face Recognition feature extraction algorithms
are included for functions such as face and eye location in addition to the face
indexing and retrieval.
