WE ARE BUILDING THE FIRST OPEN-SOURCE AUTOMATED BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
What is OpenABIS?
OpenABIS is the first open-source Automated Biometric Identification System. It supports multi-modal biometrics such as fingerprints, iris, face, and biographic data and, for now, it is designed for the needs of small to medium-size projects.
OpenABIS is fully modular, allowing to integrate with existing solutions as well as different types of biometric extractors, and matchers.
Use Cases
Though biometric identification can serve a very large variety of use cases, we are focusing our efforts on the humanitarian and development sectors.

Cash Transfer
Reduce fraud from partners and recipients to make sure the money arrives in the hand of the intended person.

Healthcare
OpenABIS helps make sure that doctors have the right patient in front of them, and access the correct medical records and pharmacists deliver medicines to the intended persons in order to reduce fraud.

Education
Programs such as School Feeding can benefit from using OpenABIS to better ensure the accuracy of the attendance reporting and make sure to reinforce good habits.

M&E
Data collection through mobile devices has greatly improved the reactivity and reporting capabilities of organizations. Using biometrics can help improve this further by helping to improve the data quality.
Project Updates
AUGUST 2020
Face recognition integration
Implementation of our first face recognition algorithm based on the Dlib model.
FEBRUARY 2020
Fingerprint integration
Selection and integration of the most efficient available open-source fingerprint matching and extraction algorithms.
JUNE 2019
Launch of the OpenABIS project, a new journey begins
OpenABIS finds its roots in the need of an ABIS for ID PASS Digital Identity Solution, our sister project which enables governments and humanitarian organizations to issue and verify a decentralized, private, trusted and recoverable form of identity to the populations they serve.
