TouchPrint Applicant Software - Demographic Capture

Demographic capture using the Enterprise Applicant Software is simple and efficient. All demographic data entries made on the Bio-Metric Capture/Enrollment Station conforms to the data field specifications established by the CJIS EFTS 7.0 and PIV Program. The system leads the operator through demographic input based on auto-population of fields with default information; mandatory field input based on “pick lists” and data validation algorithms. Default values for many of the demographic fields make it possible to populate fields without separate keystroke entries. Pick Lists provide the operator with valid selections. Validation algorithms ensure data integrity on subject specified information (e.g. validation of the input of the Social Security Number is nine digits; the input of birth date is not in a future date).

The TouchPrint Application is an extremely flexible system that allows Department of Labor to define the demographic input workflow to increase operator efficiency. The TouchPrint system provides a Configuration Tool that allows for the customization of mandatory fields, pick lists and data verification algorithms. The TouchPrint system also allows for demographic data population from other media, for example, through the magnetic stripe on a drivers‟ license. A simple swipe of the license through a magnetic stripe reader can populate pre-defined data fields. Or a bar code read from an inmate wristband can be used as the record key for a demographic import.

Image Capture and Quality Control The TouchPrint system solution incorporates advanced application features to increase workflow efficiency enabling operators to process more individuals in less time. Quality check and sequence checking algorithms assure best-in-class image quality and fail-safe capture of fingerprints in correct sequence. The system can be configured to force the operator to recapture the image until either the quality of the image surpasses a configurable threshold or the configured number of recaptures has been made. In this event the operator determines which of the captured images is accepted. The Identix TouchPrint application offers many features to ensure quality control and thus minimizing the risk of AFIS rejection of the fingerprints:

PerfectScan™ Image Quality Checking PerfectScan™ Image Quality Checking verifies that each fingerprint is captured with the best possible image quality with respect to image completeness and contrast. PerfectScan is active on the 10 rolled fingerprint impressions, the two flat thumb impressions, and the whole hand impressions. After each scan, PerfectScan Image Quality Checking performs a detailed analysis of the captured image and assigns an Image Quality Score from 0-100. This score is then compared to a site-specific Image Quality Threshold. If the score is greater than or equal to the threshold, the image is determined to have “passed.” If the score is less than the threshold, the image is rejected, the cause of the failure highlighted, and the operator must rescan the image. A manual override function is available in the event the operator determines the print quality is acceptable after X number of rejections.

Image scores for each live scan system are compiled and stored in the centralized administration database for analysis and trouble shooting of device functionality. This increases efficiency by monitoring live scan and operator performance and optimizes workflow and operator proficiency.

AccuCapture™ Sequence Checking The AccuCapture™ sequence checking feature provides automatic, real-time sequence checking that verifies that the same hand was not scanned twice and compares the 10 rolled fingerprint images to the four-finger slap and the flat thumb images using minutiae matching to verify that the images are captured and stored correctly.

Identix Superior Fingerprint Image Quality Image quality is really the most important component of an enrollment registration system. There is no point in capturing a print with poor image quality such that it can not be used to correctly identify or verify the subject on the first submission. Although other components of a livescan system are important, i.e. transmission, interface capability, operability and price, image quality must be the most important consideration. If an image quality is poor, the chance of the submission being rejected by the AFIS increases dramatically. The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition fingerprint scanner provides the image clarity needed to prevent artifacts and capture important friction ridge detail. The high dynamic range sensor results in maximum contrast and gray scales, bringing out the minutiae and pore detail in the fingerprint image with virtually no distortion. These technologies added to Identix’ superior optic sensors reduce the unclassifiable rate from the AFIS, thus maximizing lights-out performance and improving productivity by:  Reducing the number of fingerprints required to be re-rolled.  Reducing the “cost” of obtaining a “False Negative” The high dynamic range sensor results in maximum contrast and gray scales, bringing out the minutiae and pore detail in the fingerprint image with virtually no distortion. The patented optics „see‟ through moisture, dirt and latent prints left behind on the platen, making it easier for you to capture high quality images – consistently – regardless of the challenges you face such as dry or sweaty fingers or an unclean platen. “Best in class” in image capture quality, rather than “good enough” is the phrase to use in deciding which livescan to use in your critical job of accurately identifying people. The TouchPrint TP-4100 Livescan provides the image clarity needed to prevent artifacts and capture important friction ridge detail. The high dynamic range sensor results in maximum contrast and gray scales, bringing out the minutiae and pore detail in the fingerprint image with virtually no distortion. The Identix TouchPrint TP-4100 Livescan system includes the following breakthrough technologies (used when capturing rolled fingerprints) that differentiate our products from others in the market place and contribute immensely to our success of being the industry leader in image quality: Moisture Discriminating Optics™ Innovative patented imaging technology featured in both the roll/slap scanner and full hand scanner helps to overcome the effects of moisture (e.g., sweat) on fingerprints. Providing the clearest images in the industry and eliminating the need for drying or conditioning fingers prior to capturing prints.

Clear Trace Imaging™ Revolutionary optical scheme ignores latent prints, oils & dirt residue left behind on platen, the result is superior image quality without frequent cleaning between rolls. Enhanced Definition Benefits While FBI Appendix F specifications demand linear, 256 level grayscale performance when imaging test targets, fingerprint image grayscale post-processing characteristics are not specified. As a result, other livescan systems typically employ heavy grayscale post processing to reduce noise or establish the perception of image sharpness by limiting levels of gray. The TouchPrint Enhanced Definition finger scanners capture and maintain full 256 levels of linear grayscale information in the final stored image to ensure that all the information available is in the final image. Non-linear processing is often used as a means to decrease noise and alter the image to present a more “ink-like” appearance, approaching a localized binary appearance. Binary images, long known as visually appealing for their sharp crisp appearance are also know for their lack of image integrity.

Superior Image Quality To Ensure Maximum Performance             

Delivers higher AFIS performance, proven with AFIS systems. Full 256 level linear grayscale. 95% more pixel density than standard definition Greater image quality equals maximum ridge detail. Captures all critical image areas = more minutia points. No artificial image correlation = less false minutia points. Overcomes variability in the real world -operators and subjects. Doesn’t matter if hands are sweaty. Insensitive to skin color for fingerprint capture. Less sensitive to dirt and latent prints left behind on platen. Roll fingers naturally, not at some artificial machine speed. Consistent image quality over time. Less dependent on operator skill level.

The TP-4100 is 134 mm high with base dimensions of 150 mm x 150 mm (dimensions to first decimal place). These dimensions permit the device to fit against the back of a counter shelf occupying no more than 160 x 160 mm. The full length at the top of the device is 180 mm, including an ergonomic overhang of 28 mm to permit ease of capture of thumbs and rolled impressions. The overhang is critical for ease of capture of thumbs, especially for shorter individuals who may need to “reach” to access the capture device. The maximum width at the top of the device is less than 154 mm.

IRIS Capture add on for MBCS The PIER™2.3 is a rugged hand-held device that allows the operator to enroll and identify individuals using the highly unique patterns and textures of the human iris. The PIER™2.3 can store a database of up to 400,000 individuals (both left and right eye depending on installed memory) and quickly return the identity of the subject. Tethered to a PC, the device can match an unknown individual against a database of millions with extremely high accuracy. The PIER 2.3™ includes state-of-the-art lenses, a high-resolution video sensor, infrared and near-infrared illuminators, and a bright LCD screen to capture and process the detailed information contained in an individual‟s iris.

Operator’s view screen

Utilizing streaming video, the PIER 2.3 device provides live feedback to the Warfighter in a “red light/green light” manner as to the quality of the image being presented. The device will capture the three highest quality images for template extraction with a further “red light/green light” style quality check. Typical situations causing problems with image quality are too much ambient light or the subject attempting to close the eye somewhat to reduce number of features captured. Given that the PIER 2.3 is handheld, ambient light issues can be simply handled by repositioning subject and device or by shading. Subject direction will correct attempts to close the eye enough to reduce feature capture. The PIER 2.3™ performs an extensive image quality check and then forwards exceptionally high quality images to the host PC for conversion into iris templates using the industry leading Daugman 2Pi algorithm. The template can be linked with an individual‟s biographic data. The template and the biographic data form a record for the individual which is entered into a database completing the individual‟s “enrollment”. The “identification” process is accomplished in the same fashion as an enrollment. A subject‟s iris image is captured by the PIER 2.3™, converted into an iris template by the host and compared against the existing iris template database resulting in the quick and accurate identification of the subject.

Iris recognition is the fastest, most accurate and scalable of all biometric technologies. The iris contains massive amounts of detailed information unique to each individual and useful for identification. The iris is so unique that even identical twins have different irises. Once the iris is completely formed at about 18 months of age, the structure remains unchanged throughout one‟s lifetime. Iris recognition technology is noninvasive and completely safe.
