Morpho number one in NIST evaluations in fingerprint accuracy for image-only latent searches

Morpho (Safran group) today announced that its fingerprint recognition algorithms [1] 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 optimise the productivity of the fingerprint identification service. This optimisation allows their experts to focus on the most critical cases, thereby solving a larger number of cases.

"Morpho is extremely pleased with the excellent results announced by the US government's top testing laboratory for fingerprint technology," stated Jean-Paul Jainsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Morpho. "This success reflects our ongoing commitment to provide customers with best-in-class technology, allowing optimisation of their resources and processes."

The results of these and other evaluations showing Morpho's leadership are available on the NIST Web site at: http://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/ig/biometric_evaluations.cfm.
