Model trained on 50,000+ fingerprints and tested on 7,000+ prints, scoring over 0.75 accuracy
-
Could identify if same person left prints at multiple crime scenes, enhancing efficiency
-
Accuracy not yet high enough for court evidence, needs more training data
-
Could be useful for linking fingerprints at different crime scenes to same perpetrator
