Forensic / Latent Fingerprint Identification

The Forensic Latent Criminal Justice AFIS-Lite System

East Shore's forensic / latent AFIS-Lite is a muscular fully functional multi-tasking fingerprint identification system for the low volume user. It's lite in price, supplies full multi-tasking AFIS functionality and provides the highest fingerprint identification accuracy in the industry. The system processes both ten print cards and forensic / latent finger images. Finger image capture is accomplished using a high resolution flat bed scanner. AFIS-Lite's capabilities are essentially the same as those described for East Shore's larger ten print and latent print processing CJ AFIS systems.

Equipment

The baseline equipment supplied in conjunction with East Shore's AFIS-Lite software includes a high speed Intel based PC with appropriate memory and disk, a 17" flat screen color monitor, a DVD / CD-ROM drive, a flat bed scanner for card scanning and a high resolution color inkjet printer.

Capacities

AFIS-Lite's capacities are able to well meet the demands of the typical low volume local user.  Capacities and capabilities of the base AFIS-Lite start at:

• 30000 ten print database, 250 unresolved latents
• 100 ten print, 20 latent transactions per day
• less than 2 minute 10P matching, 10 minutes for latents

While the basic package provides for the above noted capacities, it allows for ready expansion. Expansion alternatives meet our AFIS-Lite low cost pricing objectives while providing both capacity expansion and optional increases in functionality.

Features

East Shore's AFIS-Lite includes features available only in many larger and much more costly systems.

High Accuracy - The patented "hyperladder matcher" offers the highest accuracy rotation independent matching in the industry with minimal false positives.

Compliance with Standards - The system fully complies with US and International standards for fingerprint image capture, image interchange and the compression of finger images.

Scalability/Modularity - The system is readily expandable into a higher capacity AFIS-Lite or into East Shore's standard Mini-AFIS with the simple addition of software and additions to workstations, server and matcher.

Open Architecture - AFIS-Lite complies fully as a true open architecture system. There are no vendor specific proprietary hardware boards used for image processing or matching, as is typical with other vendors.
