This ecog itio ei fo ces ROC’s Ame ica -made tech ology as a catego y leade i speed, accu acy, a d efficie cy, whe evaluated agai st the be chma k co sisti g of 22 total ve do s. Additio ally, ROC’s pe fo ma ce amplifies the scale a d ope atio al eadi ess the Compa y delive s as a t usted domestic ABIS alte ative to legacy fo eig biomet ic tech ology.

“Late t fi ge p i t ecog itio is o e of the most tech ically challe gi g evaluatio s i biomet ics, due to disto ted o pa tial evide ce utilized i a alysis agai st sizable ide tity databases. These latest NIST ELFT esults show that ROC is delive i g the speed, accu acy, a d scalability the FBI a d DoD, ou cou t y’s most c itical age cies, eed to move i vestigatio s fo wa d faste .

ROC’s tech ical excelle ce is eflected by ea i g its positio as the fastest late t fi ge p i t algo ithm i the NIST ELFT. ROC’s sco e was app oximately 64x faste tha the mea of the top five ve do s evaluated i the be chma k ac oss the FBI a d DoD i vestigative datasets. Impo ta tly, whe evaluated agai st this same be chma k coho t a d dataset, ROC delive ed this imp essive speed while etai i g top-tie accu acy i False Negative Ide tificatio Rate (FNIR) at Ra k-1.

With co siste t tech ical executio ac oss eal-wo ld i vestigatio s by high-stakes gove me t age cies, ROC is well-positio ed to assume its ole as the t usted domestic tech ology buildi g c itical ide tity i f ast uctu e. ROC believes the combi atio of high accu acy a d top sea ch speed st e gthe s both the ope atio al a d eco omic atio ale fo la ge-scale deployme ts.
