Biometric police

From Yenra

On March 28, 2008, Motorola announced that it has been selected by the West Virginia State Police to deploy its Motorola Printrak Biometric Identification Solution (BIS). Motorola's latest BIS solution features new algorithms for improved analysis of multi-modal biometric data delivering tenprint, latent, palmprint and facial images.

The Motorola Printrak Biometric Identification solution supports a 1000 Pixels Per Inch (PPI) resolution for tenprint, latent, palmprint and facial images. This newest generation BIS builds upon Motorola's industry leading Minutiae Interoperability Exchange Test (MINEX) algorithm to deliver enhanced interoperability, as shown in the National Institute of Standards and Technology's ongoing MINEX tests. Additionally, Motorola's system enables the storage of mugshot images and information within an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) system for greater system management cost efficiencies and faster access to data.

In addition to the BIS, West Virginia State Police is implementing digital booking capabilities with new 1000 PPI Motorola Printrak LiveScan Stations. These new biometric acquisition tools feature a more intuitive user interface and faster biometric processing enabling high-quality image submission with even the most uncooperative suspects.
