Systems for automatic identification of fingerprints are gaining momentum in US these days, and it’s expected that their sales will touch a mark of US$ 160 Million annually by the year 2010, indicate the govt. market researcher INPUT. On 5 December 2006, Motorola announced that it has won a contract by the govt. agencies of Norway. As part of the contract, Motorola will be in charge of providing 800 stations for biometric screening.
According to INPUT, the governmental agencies of US will gradually move from mutual processing of fingerprint cards to the use of digital methods for automated identification of fingerprints.
“This changeover marks the commencement of a true lifecycle oriented approach to public safety and justice automated fingerprint-identification systems (AFIS) that will include very few long term overhauls, more technological upgrades and refreshes every three-five years”, as per Chris Dixon – senior industry analyst at INPUT. The Norwegian identification system can identify people through an assortment of biometric data, plus the iris & face characteristics and through AFIS.
As per a Research Analyst's view at RNCOS, who has recently researched a report on “Access Control Technologies and Market Forecast World Over (2007)”, “At this moment it’s impossible for any of the index or index-series to contain all fingerprints screened during investigations & background checks. Nevertheless, greater interoperability is a goal that can be attained for sure.”
