In Part I, the automatic fingermark and palmmark recognition functionalities are introduced together with a review of the latest developments and state of the art, quality metrics and important biometric standards are provided; and it is concluded with a summary section entitled “lessons learnt”.
In Part II, the functionalities are placed into the context of Schengen Information System. Use-cases for border control and police and judiciary cooperation in criminal matters are presented, and a list of recommendations for the successful implementation of fingermark and palmmark processing technologies into the Schengen Information System are provided.
