identification algorithm versions consistently have shown some of the best results for reliability in several biometric competitions, including the International Fingerprint Verification Competition (FVC2006, FVC2004, FVC2002 and FVC2000) and the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) Fingerprint Vendor Technology Evaluation (FpVTE 2003), where Neurotechnology ranked among the top five companies for accuracy in single-finger tests.
