NIST ELFT is the world reference benchmark for latent fingerprint and palm print identification. The benchmarked technology is used to identify latent fingerprints and latent palm prints found on crime scenes. Initial tests, carried out in October, showed that IDEMIA’s algorithms are the best to deliver accurate performance for fingerprint and palm print datasets.
The original tests evaluated the ability to match fingerprints using latent images, with or without forensic expert features such as minutiae. Complementary tests show the results using expert features only.
