The RFI seeks algorithms capable of processing tenprint and latent fingerprints, facial recognition, and iris biometrics. The aim is to identify technologies that offer cutting-edge accuracy and performance. According to the FBI, “The results will inform strategic business decisions made by the FBI as it relates to the existing NGI System algorithms.” Vendors are encouraged to submit their algorithms for evaluation through the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) biometric testing platforms. NIST’s evaluations are renowned for their rigor, as seen in recent successes by companies like Luxand, which highlighted its FaceSDK’s performance in challenging real-world scenarios.
