PIBIO_ENGINE_IDENTIFY_FEATURE_SET_FN callback function (winbio_adapter.h)

Called by the Windows Biometric Framework to build a template from the current feature set and locate a matching template in the database. If a match can be found, the engine adapter must fill the Identity, SubFactor, PayloadBlob parameters with the appropriate information from the stored template.

Syntax

PIBIO_ENGINE_IDENTIFY_FEATURE_SET_FN PibioEngineIdentifyFeatureSetFn;

HRESULT PibioEngineIdentifyFeatureSetFn(
  [in, out] PWINBIO_PIPELINE Pipeline,
  [out]     PWINBIO_IDENTITY Identity,
  [out]     PWINBIO_BIOMETRIC_SUBTYPE SubFactor,
  [out]     PUCHAR *PayloadBlob,
  [out]     PSIZE_T PayloadBlobSize,
  [out]     PUCHAR *HashValue,
  [out]     PSIZE_T HashSize,
  [out]     PWINBIO_REJECT_DETAIL RejectDetail
)
{...}

Parameters

[in, out] Pipeline

Pointer to a WINBIO_PIPELINE structure associated with the biometric unit performing the operation.

[out] Identity

Pointer to a WINBIO_IDENTITY structure that contains the GUID or SID of the template recovered from the database. This value is returned only if a match is found.

[out] SubFactor

A WINBIO_BIOMETRIC_SUBTYPE value that receives the sub-factor associated with the template in the database. See the Remarks section for more details. This value is returned only if a match is found.

[out] PayloadBlob

Address of a variable that receives a pointer to the payload data saved with the template. If there is no payload data, set this value to NULL.

[out] PayloadBlobSize

Pointer to a variable that receives the size, in bytes, of the buffer specified by the PayloadBlob parameter. If there is no payload data, set this value to zero.

[out] HashValue

Address of a variable that receives a pointer to the generated hash value for the template. If the engine adapter does not support hash generation, set this value to NULL.

[out] HashSize

Pointer to a variable that receives the size, in bytes, of the buffer specified by the HashValue parameter. If the engine adapter does not support hash generation, set this value to zero.

[out] RejectDetail

Pointer to a variable that receives additional information if a capture failure prevents the engine from performing a matching operation. If the most recent capture succeeded, set this parameter to zero. The following values are defined for fingerprint capture:

  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_HIGH
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_LOW
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_LEFT
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_RIGHT
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_FAST
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_SLOW
  • WINBIO_FP_POOR_QUALITY
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_SKEWED
  • WINBIO_FP_TOO_SHORT
  • WINBIO_FP_MERGE_FAILURE

Return value

If the function succeeds, it returns S_OK to indicate that the last update succeeded and no additional feature sets are required to complete the template. If the function fails, it must return one of the following HRESULT values to indicate the error.

Return code Description
E_POINTER
The Pipeline parameter is NULL.
WINBIO_E_BAD_CAPTURE
The feature set did not meet internal requirements of the engine adapter for an identification operation. Further information about the failure is specified by the RejectDetail parameter.
WINBIO_E_UNKNOWN_ID
The feature set in the pipeline does not correspond to any identity in the database.

Remarks

The algorithm used to generate the template hash is that which was selected by the most recent call, on this pipeline, to EngineAdapterSetHashAlgorithm.

The hash value returned by this function, if any, is the hash of the enrollment template found in the database, not the matching template attached to the pipeline.

The PayloadBlob and HashValue buffers are owned and managed by the engine adapter after the EngineAdapterIdentifyFeatureSet function returns successfully. The engine adapter must keep the buffer address valid, for this pipeline, until the next call to EngineAdapterClearContext.
