State of the Art Biometrics Excellence Roadmap. Technology Assessment: Volume 1 (of 3): Fingerprint, Palm Print, Vascular, Standards

摘要

This report presents the technology assessment portion of the State of the Art Biometrics Excellence Roadmap (SABER) study which was conducted over a 10 month period in 2007-2008. The study included an extensive survey of biometric technologies, current products, systems, independent performance evaluations, and an overview of select research activities. The MITRE team was provided access to FBI laboratories where discussions with analysts and scientists contributed enormously to understanding the breadth of forensic biometric applications and how they are used. The MITRE team also had support from senior external consultants. The team visited representative federal, state, and local booking environments, a state detention facility, and saw large surveillance systems used for security and gaming. The site visits provided a valuable perspective on the constraints and challenges that must be considered for the FBI to fully realize the Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. The proposed roadmap recognizes FBI.s leadership in fingerprint technology as a solid foundation for expansion, and seeks a pragmatic course using cost-effective supporting technologies.
