IDEMIA Group is a pioneering technology provider whose three market-pioneering businesses power mission-critical solutions based on biometrics and cryptography.
Its algorithms have come top among all those tested in the Proprietary Fingerprint Template (PFT III) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) benchmark, covering all datasets and fingerprint types.
NIST’s comprehensive evaluation
The datasets used on this benchmark are composed of slap or rolled fingerprints. The fingerprints were captured using multiple sensors of varied quality to check the performance levels on different devices.
NIST’s comprehensive evaluation demonstrates that IDEMIA’s AFIS-class technology addresses the diversity of customer applications and optimizes set-up matching customer requirements. These technologies target police, business, and border control daily needs.
Biometric fingerprint and palmprint identification
IDEMIA’s technologies are the best-performing biometric fingerprint and palmprint identification, iris, and facial recognition algorithms and often feature prominently in international rankings:
1) FINGERPRINT:
- #1 of NIST Evaluation of Latent Fingerprints Technologies tests (ELFT)
- #1 in mFIT Challenge
2) FACE: #1 in Fairness for NIST Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT).
3) IDEMIA’s iris recognition algorithm came top of the latest NIST Iris Exchange (IREX 10) ranking.
Cutting-edge algorithms
"These latest fingerprint recognition results, in line with our track record to date, testify to our ability to offer cutting-edge algorithms that are both accurate and fair," said Jean-Christophe Fondeur, IDEMIA's Chief Technology Officer.
"I would like to congratulate our teams of software developers, who deliver on our pledge to provide our clients the very best systems on the market."
