Key Facts

  • NIST ELFT measures how accurately systems identify suspects from crime scene fingerprints against large operational databases.
  • Rank-1 hit rate indicates how often the correct subject appears first in candidate lists, reducing manual review time for forensic examiners.
  • Innovatrics also demonstrated strong performance on the DoD Dataset #1, the benchmark's largest dataset with 5,259 operational probes.
