Slovakian fingerprint recognition software firm Innovatrics says its AFIS algorithm has achieved “an exceptional level of performance and generally excellent results” in the Fingerprint Vendor Technology Evaluation (FpVTE 2012) organised by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.The evaluation ranked Innovatrics ' submission among the best in every evaluation scenario when ranking overall performance, according to the firm.The company's algorithm also ranked in the top performance group (result in 80th percentile or better) in each of the nine tested scenarios (one-to-many identification using various finger combinations from single finger up to 10 fingers).According to the FpVTE report, Innovatrics had the shortest average enrollment time among all the vendors. Enrollment time comprises fingerprint template extraction time from raw image and image segmentation time in the case of multi-finger images”System integrators and government representatives rely on NIST FpVTE benchmarks to determine how well AFIS products will perform in real-life implementations. The independent test ignores the brands and allows the technology to speak for itself,” said Jan Lunter, Chief Technology Officer at Innovatrics.
