2. Why Sonda AFIS Sonda AFIS: 25 years in biometrics
Sonda Technologies Ltd. since 1991 has been engaged in development and implementation of biometric fingerprint identification systems, software and hardware applications.
Why Sonda AFIS
64 patents for identification method, software and hardware solutions.
12 software products registered in the Federal Service for Intellectual Property, Patents and Trademarks.
International awards, diplomas and certificates.

3. Sonda AFIS
Sonda’s fingerprint identification algorithms provide greater identification accuracy, high matching speed and saving computational resources due to the unique fingerprint model protected by patents. The base of that model is a fingerprint topological description. With that model Sonda’s identification method is tolerant to nonlinear deformation, scaling, translations and rotations of fingerprints. 

4. Sonda AFIS: Safety and Quality Guarantee
The high level of Sonda’s identification technology has been repeatedly confirmed in independent testing FVC-2004, FVC-2006, conducted by the International Biometric Association and in SlapSeg04, MINEX, FpVTE12 conducted by the US National Inst. of Standards & Technology (NIST). According to the results of the most significant and large-scale testing FpVTE12 ( Sonda entered the top five world leaders along with three biometric giants such as NEC, Safran/Morpho, 3M/Cogent.

7. AFIS Fields of Application
Disclosure of crimes by fingerprints and palm latents.
Identification of detained citizens.
Identification of prisoners and supervision of their resettlement.
Issuance of biometric passports and ID cards.
Issuance of biometric visas and control of foreign nationals.
Control of illegal immigration.
Monitoring elections.
Control of borrowers from banks.

8. Tasks to be solved
Identification of citizens without ID-documents or with dubious ones;
Authentication of dead bodies in disasters or natural calamities;
Identification of criminals by their latents collected from crime scenes;
Establishing those involved in crime at the request of Interpol, Interior Ministry or foreign low-enforcement agencies;
Issuing biometric documents (passport, ID-card, driving license etc.) containing fingerprints and face photo;
Registration of migrants, checking for duplicates and issuing biometric ID-cards;

9. Tasks to be solved Registration of foreigners on obtaining visa;
Establishing foreigners trying to cross the border under false name or ID-documents;
Confirmation of passports, visa or other travel documents.
Verification of person’s respectability on employment into state or low-enforcement agencies;
Verification of borrowers from banks;
Biometric control of frequent air passengers;
Election control: registration for elections, deduplication, exception of attempts to re-vote.

10. AFIS Sonda
AFIS Sonda is used to create and maintain electronic databases of tenprints, fingerprints and palm-prints seized from crime scenes, as well as for all types of palm and fingerprint identification.
AFIS Sonda successfully passed certification testing in a number of countries: Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Syria, India, Turkey, Vietnam and others demonstrating high reliability and accuracy at the level of the world's best systems such as NEC, 3M / Cogent, Safran / Morpho.

11. Sonda AFIS structure
In general the Sonda AFIS SW components are divided to three parts: Database Server, Search System and Workstation components.
AFIS Backup SW
Matcher
Workstation
DBMS SW
AFIS SW
Remote

12. AFIS Sonda Key Features
Tenprints input in fully automatic mode without operator ‘s help. Specially trained personnel is not required.
Searching speed is hundreds of times higher in comparison with AFIS of old generation due to special accelerating algorithms. Significantly reduce the number of matchers and eventually cost of AFIS.
Access to the central AFIS via WEB - interface. Allows real-time identification of citizens right on the street using mobile devices. No need to install client’s software.
Simple coding of latents collected from crime scenes. Performed automatically eliminating the hard laborious task of drawing a skeleton pattern.
