New crop of latent fingerprint algorithms set new highs in NIST testing

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology has completed eight evaluations of biometric algorithms for latent fingerprint matching since the start of this year, which set new highs in accuracy and speed.

NIST has tested new submissions from Hisign, Dermalog, ROC, Neurotechnology, Griaule, Idemia, Peking University and Innovatrics since January 24, 2024 for its Evaluation of Latent Fingerprint Technologies (ELFT).

Idemia scored the lowest false positive identification rate (FPIR), at just under …
