Notes The PFTII evaluation is intended to assess the core algorithmic capability of the technology to perform one-to-one verification. This evaluation assesses accuracy of end-stage matchers i.e. (the computationally expensive algorithms used in the very last stages of one-to-many Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) searches).This evaluation is not necessarily representative of a provider's capability to field large-scale identification technologies, because AFIS engineering requires tradeoffs between efficiency, cost, accuracy and other resources, and exploits multi-stage matching techniques to expedite search. High Accuracy from the evaluation does not automatically imply a provider has a capability to field a full-scale AFIS installation.
