Jean-Christophe Fondeur, IDEMIA’s Chief Technical Officer, said “The impressive level of performance demonstrated in this benchmark is a game changer for forensic investigation. This technology makes it easier for investigators and law enforcement to solve more crimes much faster.

He adds, “This is in line with our long-standing and ongoing 40-plus-year pledge to provide law enforcement agencies with the very best systems on the market. All around the world, they can draw on the most accurate algorithms to carry out latent feature searches, work more efficiently in their identification tasks and make the world safer.

NIST ELFT - new benchmark for latent fingerprint accuracy

NIST ELFT is the new reference benchmark for latent fingerprint accuracy

NIST ELFT is the new reference benchmark for latent fingerprint accuracy, greatly enhancing the previous ELFT-EFS benchmark. The ELFT benchmark includes fingerprint and palm print accuracy, testing and assessing accuracy with image only or with additional features positioned by experienced human fingerprint examiners, such as minutiae.

While crime scene latent fingerprint features are the most challenging, as they are often incomplete or poor quality, IDEMIA achieves the most accurate matching algorithms for both fingerprint and palm datasets, with accuracy 7% to 60% higher than rival algorithms.

Enhanced fingerprint recognition expertise

This cements IDEMIA as the leader in fingerprint technology, while amplifying its fingerprint recognition expertise, even for the hardest fingerprints, and its world-class fingerprint technology research.

IDEMIA is truly committed to the highest level of technology, in order to provide fast, accurate, and fair solutions.

IDEMIA’s technology leadership

These ELFT results come on the heels of other high-ranking NIST benchmarks already achieved this year, further demonstrating IDEMIA’s technology leadership. The following awards speak to IDEMIA’s innovation and best-in-class solutions in security and public safety.

IDEMIA is proud to be a major company across all biometric technologies and to integrate these top technologies into its products and solutions.
