OC's Omnigarde Announces Significant Product Milestone
Omnigarde's fingerprint recognition program passed US PIV certification
Omnigarde not only passed the certification, but also achieved rank-1 performance in the NIST MINEX III matcher interchability test among US submitted companies
Omnigarde, LLC, a local Orange County biometrics company, announced its test results in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Fingerprint Minutiae Interoperability Exchange (MINEX) III evaluation. The MINEX III is an interoperability standard ongoing test to evaluate fingerprint recognition software from worldwide fingerprint developers, which is run by NIST and evaluates the compliance of template generators and template matchers across different vendors. The test establishes the compliance of template generators and template matchers for the U.S. Government's Personal Identity Verification (PIV) program. NIST's MINEX III test is the most stringent benchmark to evaluate fingerprint template generation and matching. On February 10, 2023, Omnigarde submitted its AI-based fingerprint recognition software(Omnigarde+0003) for the MINEX III evaluation. The software not only passed PIV full certification but also achieved top-1 performance in the template matching interoperability test among the US-submitted template matchers and top-6 among all worldwide submissions.
The NIST PIV program defines two levels of accuracy specifications. Vendors only achieve full compliance if they satisfy all the requirements for both Level 1 and Level 2 PIV compliance. Compliance with the PIV program is often mandatory for worldwide public and private tenders that require fingerprint technology. The US Government mandates the use of only PIV Programmed fingerprint template generators and matchers as it guarantees security and interoperability.
