WORKSHOP
The EU IAI is delighted to offer this master class on Monday June 19th at the Judicial Police of Portugal HQ, Lisbon, Portugal
AFIS / ABIS Master class
The use of biometric technology in the forensic domain has been around for decades and has proven to be a successful operational tool. Biometric technology is rapidly advancing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already part of it. Therefore, it is important that Law Enforcement Agencies remain informed of the system capabilities, and limitations in the forensic scenario. This Masterclass will include an overview of AFIS/ABIS process and practice in a forensic operational environment. Discussions are aimed at both managers and end-users with focus on human-computer interaction and how organisations and managers can best use the system to support the human expert. We discuss factors that affect AFIS/ABIS performance, human and AFIS/ABIS limitations, and how strategies implemented in the AFIS workflow can better support the forensic process by implementing safeguards in the AFIS/ABIS to protect examiners against bias and error. These include integrated workflows that manage context and minimize bias, and implemented strategies like GYRO on your AFIS, automated reports, and technical requirements like self-calibrating screens.
This masterclass offers the audience a toolbox to identify risk factors, recognize the limitations, and identify possible effective strategies in the AFIS/ABIS workflow.
At this end of this Masterclass attendees will be able to
- Identify factors that affect AFIS/ABIS performance, including organizational factors, human factors, and the system set-up
- Recognize the limitations of the human-computer interaction
- List recommended strategies to reduce error in the forensic workflow

Master Class: “Origins of Masked, Changed, and False Minutiae in Friction Ridge Impressions”
Each time the ridged skin of the hands or feet contacts a surface, a unique impression of the skin’s features is recorded. This means each impression truly only “matches” itself. Two impressions from the same region of ridge skin will inevitably display differences due to the recordings occurring at different moments in time and under different conditions. When conditions are ideal, the feature sets recorded in two impressions of the same region of skin bear remarkable similarities and no “significant” differences. What counts as an insignificant difference? If the examiner notices that the latent print appears to have been made by a finger that was sliding upward under high deposition pressure, the examiner can anticipate that the ridge widths and ridge spacings will be variable through the latent print and these widths and spacings will be recorded differently in the exemplar print. These differences are expected and insignificant. But what if an entire ridge or minutia is missing? What if there is an extra ridge or minutia in one of the impressions? Depending on the totality of the feature sets in the latent and exemplar prints, these differences can be quite significant. This workshop will lead attendees through some of the causes of missing and extra minutiae with ground truth examples of how different distortion issues can create these more troubling differences.
This class is limited to 18 participants.
