Overview

This is the API that must be implemented to participate in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s Evaluation of Latent Friction Ridge Technology (ELFT).

Implementation

Two pure-virtual (abstract) classes called ELFT::ExtractionInterface and ELFT::SearchInterface have been defined. Participants must implement all methods of both classes in subclasses and submit the implementations in a shared library. The name of the library must follow the requirements outlined in the test plan and be identical to the required information returned from ELFT::ExtractionInterface::getIdentification. NIST's testing application will link against the submitted library and instantiate instances of the implementations with their respective getImplementation functions (ELFT::ExtractionInterface::getImplementation and ELFT::SearchInterface::getImplementation).

Contact

Additional information regarding ELFT can be received by emailing questions to the test liaisons at elft@.nosp@m.nist.nosp@m..gov.
