6.4. Template Purpose Constants (ABS_PURPOSE_xxxx)
Possible values used where purpose of fingerprint template (BIR)
Biometric functions which take purpose as one of their parameter can use this information to optimize
operation processing. For example enrollment usually requires a higher template quality, so built-in biometric
tests for template quality are stricter when ABS_PURPOSE_ENROLL is specified.
Please
notice
that
the
defined
constants
correspond
to
constants
defined
in
BioAPI
(BioAPI_PURPOSE_xxxx). However also note that BSAPI supports uses only subset of the purposes
supported defined in BioAPI.
ABS_PURPOSE_UNDEFINED 0
The purpose is not specified.
The biometric operation is not optimized for any particular BIR purpose.
ABS_PURPOSE_VERIFY 1
BIR is intended to be used for verification.
ABS_PURPOSE_ENROLL 3
BIR is intended to be used for enrollment.
