  2. Automated fingerprint identification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_fingerprint...

    Automated fingerprint verification is a closely related technique used in applications such as attendance and access control systems. On a technical level, verification systems verify a claimed identity (a user might claim to be John by presenting his PIN or ID card and verify his identity using his fingerprint), whereas identification systems ...

  3. Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System

    Scanning forms ("fingerprint cards") with a forensic AFIS complies with standards established by the FBI and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). To match a print, a fingerprint technician scans in the print in question, and computer algorithms are utilized to mark all minutia points, cores, and deltas detected on the print ...

    In a manual mantrap, a guard locks and unlocks each door in sequence. An intercom and/or video camera are often used to allow the guard to control the trap from a remote location. In an automatic mantrap, identification may be required for each door, sometimes even different measures for each door.

[ 27 ] A fingerprint classification system groups fingerprints according to their characteristics and therefore helps in the matching of a fingerprint against ...

  8. Next Generation Identification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Generation_Identification

    The project's goal is to expand the capabilities of the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), which is currently used by law enforcement to identify subjects by their fingerprints and to look up their criminal history. The NGI system will be a more modular system (allowing easy expandability).

  9. Biometric device - Wikipedia
