Innovatrics’ updated algorithm for latent fingerprint identification has achieved rank 1 in the NIST ELFT, recording a 98.2% hit rate. It excelled in the FBI-provided dataset, demonstrating low FNIR and FPIR rates. The algorithm also delivered top accuracy against the DoD’s largest dataset. Matus Kapusta praised the achievement as a testament to Innovatrics’ commitment to excellence in biometrics. Additionally, a final chapter on remote user onboarding has been published by the company.
Innovatrics has announced that its updated biometric algorithm for latent fingerprint identification has achieved a rank 1 status in the latest U.S. government Evaluation of Latent Fingerprint Technologies (ELFT). This algorithm, which was submitted to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on December 11, secured a remarkable rank-1 hit rate of 98.2 percent. It also ranked first in utilizing Enhanced Feature Set (EFS) features and in reviewing 5 ranks against the FBI-provided solved dataset 1, which includes 516 probe images, resulting in a false non-identification rate (FNIR) of 0.0659 at a false positive identification rate (FPIR) of 0.01.
In addition, when evaluated against the Department of Defense (DoD) Dataset 1—comprising 5,259 latent fingerprint samples—Innovatrics displayed the highest accuracy, demonstrating significant capabilities in both rank and search accuracy metrics. Matus Kapusta, Head of the Innovatrics ABIS Business Unit, emphasized the company’s dedication to maintaining high standards in biometrics, highlighting the growing importance of secure and effective identification solutions for various sectors.
Biometric identification technology has increasingly become vital for enhancing security and efficiency in various applications across government, law enforcement, and private sectors. The U.S. government’s Evaluation of Latent Fingerprint Technologies (ELFT), conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), assesses algorithms based on their accuracy and performance with latent fingerprint datasets. This evaluation is crucial in determining the most effective technologies for real-world applications, such as criminal identification and access control.
Innovatrics’ achievement in the NIST ELFT evaluation reinforces its position as a leader in biometric technology, particularly in latent fingerprint identification. The algorithm’s exceptional performance and accuracy highlights Innovatrics’ commitment to advancing biometric solutions that enhance security and identification processes. This latest success, along with ongoing innovations in remote onboarding technology, indicates the company’s pivotal role in shaping the biometric landscape.
