These algorithms support three distinct modalities: fingerprint, face, and iris. The FBI is inviting industry to submit their algorithms, for these three distinct modalities, to the corresponding NIST biometric vendor testing platforms. The results will inform strategic business decisions made by the FBI as it relates to the NGI System. Additionally, the FBI is also conducting market research on image-based tattoo matching algorithms.
