Warwick Warp has recently taken part in a special three day exhibition at the Science Museum in London designed to showcase some of the latest biometric technology used to battle identity fraud.

Warwick Warp used the event as an opportunity to field trial its unique fingerprint technology based on an innovative modelling technique. Visitors to the event were invited to enrol their fingerprints into the Warwick Warp database, returning later in the day to see if the system could match their live scan print with their enrolled print.

Over 400 visitors took part in the trial, including around 200 children and the system proved to be 100% accurate - every live scan print was correctly matched to its enrolled print.

Dr Li Wang, Chief Technology Officer with Warwick Warp, was very pleased with these results. He said "One of the biggest tests for fingerprint readers of any kind is children as small fingers make it a lot harder for the software to define prints. In addition to being highly accurate, our technology also provides high speed - importantly, neither accuracy or speed degrades when the size of database increases."

As biometric identification grows ever more important in all kinds of areas, Warwick Warp is working to develop commercially available products to support the performance requirements that the industry demands.
