NEC Technologies India, a leading player in the integration of IT and network technologies, has partnered with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to deploy its automated fingerprint identification system for the Kerala Police.
The latter will now use the new system to match unknown fingerprints against a central database of known fingerprints for criminal investigation.
Enhanced access
More than 600 police/enforcement facilities across the state, including police stations and the district police headquarters, will have access to the system for verification and new registration of fingerprints.
The new system will help state police accelerate investigations more efficiently by providing a faster and more accurate fingerprint verification, an NEC Technologies India spokesman said.
It can also help enhance the quality of fragmented fingerprints captured at crime scenes and makes it possible to match the prints against the central database.
The spokesman quoted Takayuki Inaba, Managing Director, NEC Technologies India, as saying that NEC has always been at the forefront of public safety.
Reputedly best
"As a world leader in biometrics technologies, we are delighted to be working with C-DAC and the Kerala State Police to implement a new fingerprint recognition infrastructure, and are committed to building safer and smarter cities in India," Inaba said.
NEC's automated fingerprint identification system is claimed to be the world's best in authentication accuracy and is a core technology of the company's portfolio of leading biometric solutions, 'Bio-IDiom.'
Bio-IDiom represents the NEC’s portfolio of leading biometric authentication technologies, including face, iris, fingerprint/palmprint, finger vein, voice and ear acoustic solutions.
According to the spokesperson, the automated fingerprint identification system has been acknowledged the best in benchmark tests carried out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology of the US.
