Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy and reliability of forensic latent fingerprint decisions
TL;DR: This study is the first large-scale study of the accuracy and reliability of latent print examiners’ decisions, in which 169 latentprint examiners each compared approximately 100 pairs of latent and exemplar fingerprints from a pool of 744 pairs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repeatability and Reproducibility of Decisions by Latent Fingerprint Examiners
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated intra-examiner repeatability by retesting 72 examiners on comparisons of latent and exemplar fingerprints, after an interval of approximately seven months; each examiner was reassigned 25 image pairs for comparison, out of total pool of 744 image pairs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Score-based likelihood ratios for handwriting evidence.
TL;DR: Three score-based likelihood ratios are compared to illustrate the effect that subtle modifications of these propositions can have on inferences drawn from the evidence evaluation procedure, and it is found that, when provided with the same two items of evidence, the three methods often would lead to differing conclusions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the clarity of friction ridge impressions.
TL;DR: This paper describes a method for evaluating the clarity of friction ridge impressions by using color-coded annotations that can be used by examiners or automated systems, and discusses algorithms for overall clarity metrics based on manual or automated clarity annotation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring what latent fingerprint examiners consider sufficient information for individualization determinations.
TL;DR: The predominant factor differentiating annotations associated with individualization and inconclusive determinations is the count of corresponding minutiae; other factors such as clarity provided minimal additional discriminative value.
