Contract Overview

Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.

AI Contract Overview

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is organizing a series of tests to evaluate current latent fingerprint matching algorithms, aiming to measure the capabilities of automated systems that assist latent examiners. These tests will focus on software-only implementations that utilize automated latent feature extraction without human intervention in image marking. Scheduled for early 2007, the initial phase is targeted at assessing search performance by contemporary matchers in a controlled environment. Participation is open to vendors of Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) featuring latent search functions, as well as academic institutions with executable latent matching software, inviting a broad sector of the latent fingerprint community to contribute feedback and engage in the evaluation. This announcement is a special notice intended to broaden outreach rather than a formal procurement, so no RFQ or RFP will be issued. Interested parties can obtain detailed information through specified NIST websites and are encouraged to provide both technical and informal comments via designated email contacts. The effort is coordinated by the Department of Commerce, NIST office based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with Joseph L. Widdup serving as a key point of contact for inquiries related to the initiative.

Full Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is pleased to announce a series of tests for evaluating the state of the art in latent fingerprint matching algorithms. The intent of the testing is to quantify the algorithmic capability of contemporary matchers with the goal of providing automated assistance to latent examiners. Specifically, NIST will test search performance using automated latent feature extraction methods that do not use human markup of the latent images. The testing will be conducted using software-only implementations. The initial test is scheduled for the February-March 2007 timeframe.***** Vendors of AFIS systems with a latent fingerprint search capability are encouraged to participate. Academic institutions with an executable latent matcher are also welcome to participate directly in the test. Comments are welcomed from all sectors of the latent community. This is strictly a special notice that is being published to reach a wider audience. It is not a federal procurement action, no RFQ or RFP is available. ***** To participate, detailed information may be obtained from the following websites: http://fingerprint.nist.gov/latent/. Or more directly from http://fingerprint.nist.gov/elft07/. NIST welcomes all comments. ***** Less technical/informal comments may be sent directly to contact@example.gov ***** More technical comments should be addressed to contact@example.gov (with cc: to contact@example.gov)
