Components and database:

  • Operator Workstation (OW) – Desktop application (thick client)
  • Central server with PAPILLON DBMS
  • Matchers – processing and search server modules
  • Backup server – module for backing up critical database components
  • Data Exchange Server – module for converting information from other databases (Oracle, etc.)
  • Data repository – data storage and backup server. It consists of disk drives and an Oracle/PostgreSQL server designed to allocate the text part of the AFIS database as a separate database, open for work through web browsers and interoperation with external systems.

Subject to licensing:

  • Operator workstation (the number of simultaneous sessions is subject to licensing, the number of operators is not limited)
  • Local workstation (the number of simultaneous sessions and the possibility of remote access to the centralized AFIS database are subjects to licensing)
  • Matchers (restrictions apply to the number of searches for a specified period of time. E.g. the latent-tenprint search allows for 50 requests per day)
  • Central server

Not subject to licensing: Backup server, data exchange server and data repository.

KEY BENEFITS

  • High level of effectiveness of the system proven by:
    • a large number of implemented large-scale projects with multi-million databases
    • the facts of replacing other manufacturers’ AFISs with PAPILLON AFIS
  • Flexible, scalable architecture, support of an unlimited database size
  • Multibiometric database format, identification/verification of a person by several biometric features
  • Technologies generating high-quality biometric arrays:
    • LIVE SCANNER Multibiometric Enrollment System
    • high-quality photography of latent prints in different illumination modes (PAPILLON-Fosko, PAPILLON-ExpertLab)
    • AFIS tools and filters to improve the quality of latent prints, separate overlapped latent prints, remove underlying texture, etc.
  • High-precision proprietary algorithms for recognition and comparison of biometric images (fingerprints, face and iris images)
  • Work with latent and known palmprints

Work with latents containing a small number of minutiae:

  • fingerprints with at least four and palmprints with at least six minutiae are suitable for input into PAPILLON AFIS
  • in the Russian AFIS databases, about 43% of latents have a small (<17) number of minutiae, which amounts to ~29% of all cases of identifications

 

  • No special requirements to input fingerprint images in a uniform scale: compensation for any scale changes and distortions of fingerprints: due to age, post-mortem, resulting from trauma or disease.
  • Automatic encoding of all tenprints and latents:
    • high speed of arrays formation
    • elimination of encoding errors and associated omissions of “tenprint-to-tenprint”, “latent-to-tenprint”, “tenprint-to-latent” matches
  • High reliability and selectivity of comparisons, incl. the following cases:
    • latent and known palmprints
    • unknown position of a finger or palm
    • unknown type of finger pattern
    • any deformation or distortion of a papillary pattern
    • unknown orientation of the latent relative to the fingerprint
    • scars and skin lesions
    • a few minutiae on the latent
  • Stability of search performance on any size of the database without prior selection of tenprints and latents by quality
  • A special algorithm of work with tenprints of the unknown dead: the highest probability of matching with an life-time tenprint
  • High precision “tenprint-to-latent” searches (most manufacturers of criminal justice AFISs did not solve this issue):
    • short candidate lists with the native candidate at the top positions
    • complete symmetry of “tenprint-to-latent” and “latent-to-tenprint” searches in all parameters:
      • reliability and accuracy
      • number of identifications and false matches per million comparisons
      • time spent on verifying candidate lists
  • Search against plain impressions:
    • Not only rolled fingerprints but also plain impressions are involved in latent-tenprint and tenprint-latent searches
    • About 11% of all matches for latent prints are those made against plain impressions, which would be impossible without this type of search (in data arrays, where the percent of tenprints containing slaps is no less than 50%)
  • Tenprint-tenprint search by palmprints: positive identifications even if the fingerprint quality in tenprint cards is very low
  • Tenprint-tenprint search by face and/or iris images:
    • improves the reliability of identifications in AFIS
    • allows information about personal identity to be obtained even in the absence of fingerprint information
    • expands the use of AFIS
  • Special methods (filters) for working with candidate lists generated for latents:
    • reduce time for verifying top (visible) parts of candidate lists to get identifications
    • enable additional identifications from invisible (hidden) parts of candidate lists that are not available if the filter is not applied
  • Neural network algorithms for analyzing candidate lists:
    • enable 80-90% identifications from top (visible) parts of candidate lists, reducing labor costs by tens of times
    • enable extra identifications from invisible (hidden)parts of candidate lists that are not available when the traditional method of verification is used
  • Technology of automatic express ID checks against tenprint databases in real time:
    • Requests from fixed and mobile stations (IP connection) are received to verify persons’ identity
    • Persons’ identity is established/confirmed by fingerprint and/or facial images and/or demographic data
    • Check time is a few seconds (if high-speed communication channels are used)
    • Result of the check contains text data and photos from all matches (tenprints) found in the database
  • Technology of automatic express checks of fingerprints against an array of unsolved latents:
    • Revealing the facts of the person’s complicity in illegal activities or crimes previously committed
    • Result of the check:
      • positive – the system is sure that the latent from unsolved crime scene found in the database belongs to the person being checked
      • confirmation required – the result must be reviewed and confirmed by a forensic expert
      • negative – no unsolved latents belonging to the person being checked were found in the database
