M2SYS attempts to combat false rejects

Thursday, February 28, 2008 in News

M2SYS LLC has announced a new fingerprint product that aims to limit the possibility of a false reject. A false reject, or false negative, occurs when the system fails to identify a successfully enrolled user.

Bio-AI is an artificial intelligence that uses a dynamic profiling technique to learn about a person’s fingerprints over time. This knowledge enables the fingerprint software to take actions that mitigate the chance of generating a false reject following a fingerprint scan, according to the Atlanta-based biometric vendor.

False rejection rates are an important factor in selecting a fingerprint biometric system. False rejects can be frustrating, and can lead to increased costs and decreased productivity for companies that have invested in fingerprint biometrics, the company states. [end]
