NBIS-JS

Finger NFIQ validation and matching directly in the browser.

Currently the functions we implemented are finger Matching, with Mindtct and Bozorth, and NFIQ 1.0 score.

Usage

You may install with npm or use the CDN

import {
    checkDuplicateFingerFromBase64,
    getNfiqScoreFromBase64,
} from "./nbis-js.js";

await checkDuplicateFingerFromBase64(
    "fingerWsqInBase64",
    "otherFingerWsqInBase64"
);

await getNfiqScoreFromBase64("fingerWsqInBase64");

Building

You will need the emscripten compiler and associated tools.

Generate Build configs with

mkdir build; cd build
emcmake cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Build with

emmake make -j16

Generate wasm and mjs

emcc *.a  -O3 -o output.mjs -sEXPORT_ES6=1 -sMODULARIZE=1 -sEXPORT_NAME=loadWasm -sINITIAL_MEMORY=128MB -sALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH -sNO_EXIT_RUNTIME=1 -s"EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS=['ccall', 'cwrap', 'getValue']" -s"EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS=['_free', '_main', '_computeNfiq', '_checkDuplicateFinger', '_malloc']" -sSINGLE_FILE

Clean up with

emmake make clean -j3

Generate nfiq-js lib (you can use npm also)

cd nbis-js
pnpm i
pnpm run build
pnpm run copy-to-examples # copy .js from dist to /examples

The dist folder should now have the ES6 browser-compatible js library named nbis-js.js.

Examples

To run the examples, you will need to move the generated nbis-js to the examples directory then run vscode live-server or whihchever other web hosting service to your liking.

Useful Flags

If you would like to link with the file system and be able to reference files, generate the web assembly files with -lnodefs.js -lnoderawfs.js

You may also run the memory profiler by passing --memoryprofiler

Running with -sASSERTIONS enables more debugging logs
