WINBIO_E_BAD_CAPTURE

WINBIO_E_BAD_CAPTURE means a sample was captured but rejected as unusable for later biometric processing. The sample can be incomplete, blurred, too noisy, or otherwise below the engine’s quality threshold.

What to check

  • Retry capture with a clean sensor surface and a stable presentation of the biometric factor.
  • Use the API reject-detail value where available instead of assuming the template database is damaged.
  • For a driver or sensor implementation, check the capture and calibration pipeline that feeds the engine adapter.
