Automated Fingerprint Identification System, or AFIS
average of 120 to 150 points [handbook of fingerprint recognition 2009]
A fingerprint reader captures an image of a person's fingerprint and converts the unique patterns into a digital code. When a person places their finger on the reader, it compares the captured fingerprint with stored fingerprint patterns to verify identity. If the patterns match, access is granted.
Over the years, standardization of types and characteristics have been developed. These are cataloged and used as hyper-data in the databases. By taking a new set, applying the catalog criteria to the new prints, they can be run against the existing prints on file. The computer will match the various points and kick out either the exact match, or a handful of possible matches. The examiner then has to match them up to determine if it is a valid match.

Biometric fingerprint recognition is a technology that identifies individuals based on unique patterns in their fingerprints. It is commonly used for security purposes to grant access or authenticate a person's identity. Fingerprint recognition systems capture and analyze fingerprint images to match with stored data for verification.
DNA bands that match those in the child's fingerprint and that aren't from the other parent.
The type of identification method that classifies fingerprints using mathematical models is called automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS). AFIS uses algorithms to analyze unique fingerprint patterns and match them against a database for identification purposes.

Fingerprint matches are determined by comparing the unique patterns of ridges, loops, and whorls on a fingerprint found at a crime scene with a known fingerprint in a database. Experts analyze these patterns to see if there is a sufficient level of similarity and agreement between the two prints to establish a match. This process, called automated fingerprint identification, is highly accurate and widely used in forensic investigations.
There are quite a few forensic databases that are used for the forensics sciences. Two of the main databases that are most known are CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) and IAFIS (Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System). Another may be CM/ECF (Case Management Electronic Case Filing).
