Automated fingerprint identification

The usage of human fingerprints for identification has a long history, tracing back to the Chinese usage of fingerprints 200 BCE (International Association for Identification, et al., 1). The Qin Dynasty had records of handprint identification being used as evidence for investigations about burglary. It is not clear to what degree these methods were effective or accurate but this is the oldest known example of the usage of handprints for identification purposes. From this point, there are some sporadic

compares with the held on the database However, Prabhakar (Undated) Among all the biometric techniques, fingerprint-based identification is the oldest method which has been successfully used in numerous applications. Everyone is known to have unique, immutable fingerprints. A fingerprint is made of a series of ridges and furrows on the surface of the finger. The uniqueness of a fingerprint can be determined by the pattern of ridges and furrows as well as the minutiae points. Minutiae points are

Casey Mallory Introduction Topic: Forensic Science In general, a forensic scientist’s job provides an objective, scientific analysis to discover the truth and use that truth in legal proceedings. Forensic scientists take items of evidence collected from crime scenes and determine their relevance to the case by examining and analyzing the evidence. There are various types of forensic scientists that specialize in specific examinations and analysis of different types of evidence. Eventually forensic

about an individual from a variety of databases (Roberts, 2011). The development of the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) has empowered law enforcement with the ability to easily identify suspects during a criminal investigation and access criminal histories, while in the field and solve cases faster (Roberts, 2011). The Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System enable law enforcement officers to decrease the number of cold or unsolved criminal cases, increase

Latent Prints History of Identification and Analysis Fingerprints have been used as a means of identification around the world for as early as 300 B.C. in China, 702 A.D. in Japan and introduced in the United States in around 1902 (Fingerprint sourcebook). A document called the “The Volume of Crime Investigation-Burglary,” describing the use of handprints as evidence originated in China. Back then, fingerprints were also used to seal documents and assign authorship (fingerprint sourcebook). While Sir

investigators can identify whoever committed the crime. The NIBIN, IAFIS, and CODIS databases are some of the tools widely used and available to forensic scientists. NIBIN, or the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, allows prompt and easy identification of ballistics information from across the country (ATF.) It was formed in the 1990’s in conjunction with law enforcement and is run under the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF.) The program is able to automate ballistics

The History of Fingerprints Fingerprints offer a solid method for an individual's identification. This is the basis for clarification of fingerprints and has since replaced techniques for identifying people who are reluctant to admit previous arrests. (Moore, 2017) This essay will discuss the historical backdrop of fingerprints as a science and timeline, the progression, and accomplishments. The first known utilization of fingerprinting was in the fourteenth century Persia, where government authorities

It is indisputable that the advancement in technology and knowledge has greatly improved the capability to catch criminals. Forensics of the past did not include the tools or knowledge that we now have. Although forensics is not a perfect science nor has it ever been, we are closer to perfection than we have ever been. Every criminal leaves behind some traces of evidence; it is up to the professionals to find and analyze it to solve a case. Looking at the timeline of forensics technology of the past
