Morpho #1 in NIST evaluations in fingerprint accuracy for image-only latent searches
July 2012 by Marc Jacob
Morpho (Safran group) announced that its fingerprint recognition algorithms* have been ranked number one in fingerprint accuracy for image-only latent searches in the most recent National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) test.
In the report from the Evaluation of Latent Fingerprint Technologies: Extended Feature Sets (ELFT-EFS) test, Morpho’s algorithm excelled in accuracy and was found to be number one for image-only searches.
The ELFT-EFS test results clearly establish Morpho as the leader in automated latent processing. Morpho’s technology provides police agencies with an efficient, cost-effective solution to process latent searches with more accuracy in order to streamline their front-line processes and optimize the productivity of the fingerprint identification service. This optimization allows their experts to focus on the most critical cases, thereby solving a larger number of cases.
The results of these and other evaluations showing Morpho’s leadership are available on the NIST website at:

* An algorithm is a software process at the center of biometric matching performance and quality
