New Generation of Innovatrics Fingerprint Algorithm Tops NIST MINEX III Evaluation

NIST’s Minutiae Interoperability Exchange (MINEX) III tests prove the superiority of a new generation of fingerprint algorithms from Innovatrics, confirming the company as a leader in fingerprint biometrics

Apart from the traditional comparison of individual fingerprint, facial and iris algorithms, US-based NIST also conducts tests for the interoperability of fingerprint matching. These tests, dubbed MINEX III (Minutiae Interoperability Exchange), have a new winning fingerprint algorithm in the matcher category. The new submission from Innovatrics is currently the most accurate among more than 40 vendors. 

“Our latest fingerprint verification algorithm has been significantly improved by incorporating deep neural networks into the process, and the current fingerprint matcher is the best matcher worldwide as measured by NIST,” explains Marian Beszedes, Head of Innovatrics R&D. 

MINEX III, one of the most prestigious benchmarks in the industry, is used to establish compliance of fingerprint template generators and template matchers for the Personal Identity Verification Program (PIV) of the US Government. 

The new generation of Innovatrics fingerprint algorithm, evaluated in the NIST MINEX III benchmark, is included in Innovatrics ABIS – a multimodal biometric identification system successfully deployed to hundreds of large scale government and enterprise projects, including some of the most complex biometric systems worldwide.
