The NEC Corporation (NASDAQ: NIPNY) announced in July 2004 that its fingerprint identification system earned top ranking in all categories of the Fingerprint Vendor Technology Evaluation (FpVTE) 2003, sponsored by the Justice Management Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. FpVTE, an accuracy evaluation of fingerprint matching, identification, and verification systems, was conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The purpose of the test was to identify the most accurate fingerprint matching systems and determine the effect of a variety of variables on matcher accuracy.
Notably, NEC’s small-scale fingerprint identification system achieved an accuracy rate of 99.9%, confirming the extreme effectiveness of its fingerprint matching technology. Accuracy rates for NEC’s medium-scale and large-scale systems were 99.4% and 99.3%, respectively.
