Abstract

The rapid advancement of biometric and fingerprint technology is causing significant improvements in many aspects of fingerprint identification. Enhanced fingerprint matching algorithms for ten- and latent-fingerprint searches, increased repository size, and interoperability are all leading to a higher probability of positive fingerprint identifications. Additionally, biometric capture devices are becoming more mobile and streamlined. However, many of these advancements are occurring due to research for improving antemortem digital fingerprint capture. Research, development, and improvements in the area of postmortem fingerprint recovery, digital fingerprint capture, and fingerprint electronic processing is necessary. Furthermore a central fingerprint repository for retention of postmortem fingerprint records and missing person antemortem fingerprint records would considerably improve the identification of unidentified and missing persons.
