Guidelines for the assessment of fingermark detection techniques International Fingerprint Research Group (IFRG)

The purpose of this document is to provide "best practice" guidelines for the evaluation of new or modified fingermark detection methods, from initial concept through to final casework implementation. These guidelines are not meant to be prescriptive; however, where research is conducted that is relevant to the scope of these guidelines, it is expected that significant deviations will be clearly indicated and justified in any associated presentations and publications. This document has been prepared in consultation with members of the International Fingerprint Research Group (IFRG) and has been endorsed by the IFRG Steering Committee.
