Use of Verazial ID Server and its powerful ABIS

• All subject data is recorded and stored in the powerful ABIS of Verázial ID Server.
• Operations initiated from the workstations of forensic scientists and mobile units are managed in the server’s ABIS, where tasks such as quality analysis of samples, identification of live or latent fingerprint samples against registered records, and accuracy levels in identifications are handled.
• High speed performance, even when processing large biometric databases.
• Easily scalable to meet growing demands.
• Data encryption for maximum security.
• High availability is ensured through disaster recovery mode configuration (DRC, Disaster Recovery Center).

Biometric Sample Registration in the ABIS

• Captures all 10 fingerprints from a live or a deceased subject, including both flat and rolled prints.
• Captures palm prints from a live or a deceased subject: upper, lower, and lateral (writer’s palm).
• Registers fingerprints or palm prints from a file, such as a criminal record card or prints that need to be digitized, or from a latent sample collected at a crime scene.
• Captures facial photographs from a live or a deceased subject.
• Registers facial images from videos or photos taken during a specific investigation.
• Captures both irises from a live subject.
• Registrs any biometric sample imported from another system.
• Quality analysis of each biometric sample recorded.

Management of criminal cases

• Criminal case management, ensuring that evidence such as fingerprints, latent prints, facial photos, scars, marks, tattoos, and other personal information and images, along with case notes, is well-organized.
  
• Tracking of evidence details, metadata, the history of biometric identifications of individuals and their outcomes, as well as any prior involvement in cases.

Expert identification for latent prints

Latent fingerprints found at a crime scene are often incomplete and/or difficult to see, making reliable automatic identification challenging and requiring the expertise of a specialist.

• Specific features for latent prints equip forensic technicians with the tools for biometric visual analysis, along with the evidence required to build legal proof.
• The matching tool helps in the simultaneous analysis of investigation data and candidates profiles, including minutiae and similarity scores.
• A configurable option which allows the forensic expert to compare subjects without knowing their identities until a final decision is made. This ensures that the technical assessment remains unbiased.

Latent Fingerprint Image Editing

A latent print editor designed to enhance the quality of the print before enrolling or submitting it for identification against the server:

• Normalizing the image to a standard format suitable for identification of individuals (DPI, perspective, flip, rotate, crop).
• Image adjustment to highlight ridge details of the fingerprints (grayscale, brightness and contrast, histogram equalization, color temperature, inverted image, blur).
• Visual annotation of significant marks on a fingerprint.
• Ridge separation tool.
• Detection and adjustment of distinctive points.
