Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems

Аннотация

The greatest use of AFIS technology is for tenprint identifications, in which rolled fingerprint images are compared against enrolled records. The greatest potential value of AFIS systems lies in the area of latent print identifications. The ability of AFIS systems to search millions of records in minutes and present candidates to the latent print examiner borders on the incredible. As amazing as the AFIS systems are, however, they still rely on the latent print examiner to make the identification.
