Neurotechnology Ranks Second In MINEX Ranking For Fingerprint Matching Algorithms

Neurotechnology today announced that the latest version of its fingerprint matching algorithm has achieved second place in the Ongoing MINEX evaluation organized by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The MINEX test measures the interoperability of fingerprint algorithms using the INCITS 378 fingerprint standard template format. MINEX compliance is often a mandatory requirement in public tenders in the United States and many other countries worldwide, as well as in projects for private enterprises and consumer products that use logical and physical authentication through fingerprint verification.

When a vendor submits a fingerprint matcher for MINEX evaluation, the fingerprint matching result is generated by comparing two templates: one template is generated with the feature extractor provided by the same vendor of the matching algorithm and a second template is generated with any of the feature extractors already qualified as MINEX compliant.

"We are glad to offer to our customers the option to upgrade their current fingerprint verification systems with an interoperable matching technology that, in most cases, will work even better with their existing standard template data," said Justas Kranauskas head of the biometric research department for Neurotechnology.
