7 Michigan State Police

The results of Section 7 are based on searches of the sequestered dataset Michigan State Police. This dataset consist of of 2 174 operational latent probes. No EFS data was provided for probes or mated exemplars.

All probes searched were a single friction ridge sample from somewhere on the hand. Because the ELFT API indicates to implementations whether an image comes from the distal or palm region, analysis is separated between the two.

Note: While NIST biometric technology evaluations typically use sequestered law enforcement data, a literature search indicates that this collection of data may have been supplied to other research organizations that are not subject to the same strict sequestration policies as NIST.
