Automated Fingerprint Identification System

Criminal fingerprint recognition database and inquiry system.

Formulsoft started working on AFIS project with using its knowledge and experience in fingerprint recognition algorithm.

Researching Literature is started and the products with large market share are observed.

The properties of new generation AFIS systems are searched. With the result of these searches, the properties of the algorithm is determined.

There are 6 big companies with large market share about AFIS.

NEC, Cogent, Sagem, Motorola, Crossmatch, Dermalog.

4 of these companies (NEC, Cogent, Sagem, Motorola) have %90 share in the market.

Basically two different systems are used in AFIS market.

Hardware based systems (embedded systems)

Server based systems (Blade server etc.)

The target of Formulsoft is to develop a hardware based system with using its experience in electronics.
