    4. Automation of Fingerprint Search FBI / National Bureau of Standards Begin a Long Term Collaboration to Automate Fingerprint Search Process R&D Intentionally in the Public Domain FBI Introduces Initial Automated Processing Commercial AFIS Systems Emerge and are Rapidly Adopted Unable to Exchange Fingerprints Between Vendors FBI Processing Times and Backlogs Fall Behind States ANSI/NBS-ICST 1-1986 Fingerprint Identification - Data Format for Information Interchange FBI and Advisory Board Conceive National Search Hierarchy And Plan to Revitalize FBI Identification Services Advisory Policy Board Approves FBI IAFIS System requirements.

    5. Automation of the search process saves a tremendous amount of time: a full fingerprint is no longer required, the suspect list is filtered to present strong suspects Lost/misfiled prints no longer a problem Each card when it arrived would receive a primary and full classification. The card would be searched in the proper section of the manual file by an examiner making a card to card comparison. If it was not identified it would be filed in the manual file based on classification. If it were identified it would go to another file where it would be filed in the case folder. The old system required more personnel that required significant training in fingerprint classification. Most states did not bother searching unknown latents to small a return for the man-hours required. Cardless system is a tremendous cost saver for the Local/state and federal agencies. Manual filing of cards requires storage space, equipment, manpower and cuts down on lost and missing records. Additionally multiple cards were required for storage in multiple filing systems.

    7. AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF APPLIED SCIENCE The basis of fingerprint identification is the premise that the configurations formed by the raised ridges of the palmar surface of the hands are unique and do not undergo any natural changes, except growth, from fetal life until decomposition.

    8. Ridge Characteristics a.k.a. Minutiae or Points Specific traits found in friction ridges used to establish an identification by their relative location to each other. The Average finger has between 75 and 175 points of identification. Palmar area approximately to 2,000 points of identification. e.g. ending ridges, dots, bifurcations, islands

    9. Core Systems in all Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems Go through each process: Input now mostly lives can or digitized images. The card is captured and digitized usually by a lives can unit, probably 70% of the cards captured today are digitized images. The FBI requires all images to come in electronically. Quality Control, each print is evaluated by the system and the card might be rejected immediately at the lives can unit Coder, the system detects points of identification for each fingerprint card if the coder feels there are image quality issues the image is sent to a Q.C station for a person to evaluate image quality. Matchers compare the points of identification on the search card to cards in the database developing a list of viable suspects. The cards after being searched can be added to the database. The FBI search database keeps the 1st. Card received and if the record gets subsequent cards for additional arrests. If the new images are better quality the new minutiae plat is saved, a minutiae composite. Go through each process: Input now mostly lives can or digitized images.

    11. Input of Latent Print The examiner will enter the latent examiner will enter the latent lift/photograph into the system. The image is designed for the fingerprint to be captured with the camera. The camera produces the better images. The scanner captures a larger area and is better suited for a latent palm. The scanner samples the image at intervals to create the image so using the scanner you do have a slight loss in image quality. Lincoln will search latent submitted by other agencies. Lincoln will accept a lift card, evidence to be processed or an electronic latent image. State Patrol will not accept electronic inputs. Lincoln will search latent submitted by other agencies. Lincoln will accept a lift card, evidence to be processed or an electronic latent image. State Patrol will not accept electronic inputs.

    12. The Search (Coders & Matchers) The examiner has a choice to manually select the points of identification (minutiae) or allow the system to select it. Search database is approximately 350,000 records in Ne. and 60 million at the FBI. Other helpful parameters that can be set are age, classification and gender. Search takes 4-13 minutes depending on search parameters in Ne. All 20 images rolled & flats are searched, if available. Current system is 85% accurate when the latent has 15 points of identification and the target (exemplar) ten print card has the corresponding 15 points. Avg. Latent has between 10 & 30 points. Approximately 30% of crime scenes produce useable latent images. 21% of the crime scenes have latent fingerprints. The Other 9% are latent palm images Searches may compare against fingerprint records, palm print records, or both types of records. Latent search priorities, including pre- In latent searching the results are usually better when the examiner selects the search points of identification. defined priorities, are user adjustable from any workstation. The Printrak BIS software supports pre-defined search priorities set by the system administrator that are modifiable at search initiation; however, higher priority searches take precedence. Latent Search Verification displays the respondent list with the position, respondent ID number, score, and respondent crime type. The list is displayed in descending order sorted by match score. The respondent list can also be re-sorted based by a variety of criteria including ID number sequence, low to high or high to low score, record type, etc. The operator has the capability to select which fields to display and sort within a candidate list. Individual areas of the print can easily be magnified up to 400 percent. Automatically encoded minutiae can be edited, and minutiae can be manually encoded. These encoding tools make unidentifiable minutiae visible, assist latent examiners in print encoding, and improve the quality of search prints, which increases the probability of a positive identification. The Latent station submits the enhanced latent images to an AFIS server for search latent searches all twenty fingers from ten rolled and ten desegmented flat fingers will be used.Searches may compare against fingerprint records, palm print records, or both types of records.

The Latent station submits the enhanced latent images to an AFIS server for search latent searches all twenty fingers from ten rolled and ten desegmented flat fingers will be used.

    13. Search Results The system uses expert matching to develop a list of viable candidates for the examiner to compare. Accuracy ranges from 85% with the target print in the 1st. 5 candidates to 88% that the target is in the top 15 candidates. System creates a candidate list of the most likely suspects and the latent examiner determines hit or no hit. If the lift is not identified it can be added to the unsolved latent file. When the Match Analysis screen appears, it is normally blank. After a search has been performed and a case is selected from the list of cases on the Match Analysis Search screen, the Match Analysis images appear, as shown above. The screen displays the search image on the left side of the screen and the respondent image on the right side of the screen. The matched minutiae, which appear blue, can be added or deleted on the search or respondent cases to generate new match scores.. Image enhancements are available for the analysis and can be applied against both the search and database prints.When the Match Analysis screen appears, it is normally blank.

    14. Latent Palm Print Searching The new systems now have the ability to search latent palm images. 30% of the useable latent prints developed at a crime scene are palms. Palm system accuracy is 70 to 90 % if the latent has 15 points of identification and the target (exemplar) ten print card has the corresponding 15 points. Palms have in approximately 2,000 points of identification. Palms have dedicated matchers and coders. Application software supports 360 degrees search. Lower palm (thenar, hypo-thenar and interdigital) Upper palm and Writers Latent palm searching will use a distribution point, segment, and hand areas to improve performance palm. Palm prints captured in 3 parts main are of the palm thenar,Hypo-Thenar Intrdigital. Writers palm and upper palm images interdigital and finger phalanges. Check cases use the writers palm quite a bit and checks produce significant number of latent images JPEG 2000 compression Lower, upper, and/or writers palm segments are used for reverse palmprint: latent searches and for forward latent palm print searches. The Latent Workstation operator can designate a latent as a finger latent (with optional specification of the possible finger number's)), a palm latent (with optional specification of the applicable palm area), or as an unknown latent impression (possibly finger, possibly palm). The system is not sensitive to the angle of a scanned image. The application software supports 360 degrees search. For example, challenging latent palm prints where orientation of the palm is not known can be scanned in any orientation. To take advantage of the 360 degrees search the user selects this option from the Latent application software Same palm card format as the fbi Latent palm searching will use a distribution point, segment, and hand areas to improve performancePalm prints captured in 3 parts main are of the palm thenar,Hypo-Thenar Intrdigital.

    15. Unsolved Latent Files (latent finger & latent palm) The latent finger and palm print files in Ne. are sized to hold 75,000 latent records including both latent fingerprints and latent palm prints. Regardless of whether the record was entered from a ten print inked card or submitted via LSS, workflow capabilities are provided for automated search of the unsolved latent file. When a new fingerprint card is processed through the ten print system and it is not identified the minutiae are compared with the unidentified latent stored in the UL file on AFIS. Latent finger against the Unsolved accuracy 88-93%, a palm is 73-93%.

    16. Accuracy Clarification Accuracy figures used in this presentation are from a controlled environment and are probably significantly higher than the results obtained in every day searching. There are a number of factors that will influence accuracy: Quality of the ten print card. Quality of database , current database contains images captured at 500 ppi and 1,000 ppi. Work flow Quality of the examiner

    17. Universal Latent Workstation If a latent is serious enough it can be searched against the FBI IAFIS system. FBI system consists of : The image captured for the state afis search can be used for the FBI search but new minutiae needs to be plotted. 50+ million arrest fingerprint cards from every state in the union at 500ppi. Database penetration less than 30 % Search database is created from the 1st. Card received. The minutiae however is updated when subsequent cards are processed, so they have a composite of the best minutiae. FBI has an unsolved latent file. This search became available to states in 1999, NY was the 1st. State I was the 1st. Examiner Nebraska's 1st. Search was 2002 at LPD, followed by Omaha then Douglas Co. 200 and State Patrol 2007 This search became available to states in 1999, NY was the 1st. State I was the 1st. Examiner Nebraska's 1st. Search was 2002 at LPD, followed by Omaha then Douglas Co. 200 and State Patrol 2007

    18. Core IAFIS Service Latent Submission Latent fingerprints can be searched from a state site as a remote user, the preferred method. If the state has no qualified examiners the image and information can be submitted electronically and the FBI will search if it meets certain criteria The lifts can be submitted to the FBI if it meets certain criteria Searches are acquired at 1,000 ppi but searched against images acquired at 500ppi States have been allocated a certain number of latent searches a day however that has never been enforced. The latent searches are interleaved with the arrest cards being processed. Because of the volume of searches so as to not slow down fingerprint searches, latent are restricted to a database penetration of 30% Not a great problem because you can change search parameters and put in multiple searches. Latent system became available to outside agencies Nov. 1999, I put in the 1st. Searches Latent system became available in NE. in 2002 at my Lab. Lincoln PD followed by Omaha 2003, Douglas Co. and 2007 NSP Accuracy ratings for the latent system are not available but 60% is usually the high end.

    19. All fingerprint card submissions are electronic today. 70% of the rejected cards at the FBI are fingerprint related: poor quality, fingers out of sequence fingers or hands transposed FBI will accept 1,000 ppi images and will store them for the future; the images are interpolated down to 500ppi for the search and storage in the search database. If a card is rejected and cannot be corrected the event will not become part of the individuals criminal history, will not show on the rap or NCIC A poor quality print can get searched as a Search& Return if the FBI is asked. FBI ten print uses all ten rolled impressions Use a double verification on all identifications. Because the FBI is so strict on fingerprint quality, the federal fingerprint search database is the most accurate at 95% to 98%. How are IDs from the state handled ??? provide two finger identification in addition to the proposed ten print, palm print, and latent identification capabilities. Both two finger identification (1:Many Searching) and two finger verification (1:1 Matching) are readily available; moreover Motorola will provide these two finger workflows for both the proposed Printrak BIS and LiveScan Stations. That is, in addition to the applicant, criminal, and registrant processing profiles on the Live Scan Stations, there will be the following two finger identification Each capture initiates an immediate quality check feedback to the operator to facilitate recapture of improperly captured fingerprint/palm print images of the print if necessary.All fingerprint card submissions are electronic today. 70% of the rejected cards at the FBI are fingerprint related: poor quality, fingers out of sequence fingers or hands transposed FBI will accept 1,000 ppi images and will store them for the future; the images are interpolated down to 500ppi for the search and storage in the search database.

    20. Search Database Make Up Copy of all/specific # of cards processed Copy of the 1st. Card processed (composite of all minutia plotted) Composite of the best fingerprint images. The Printrak BIS is configured with Advanced Matching Service that possesses a composite database for searching. For ten print searches the 8 best fingers of the search print will be used; however for latent searches all twenty fingers from ten rolled and ten desegmented flat fingers will be used. The Printrak BIS as configured and proposed for NAFIS includes a latent cognizant file for latent finger searching. All process records will have their features stored in the AMS to support latent searching. The proposed system meets the required capacity for 750,000 ten print records through year 5. In addition to 10 rolled prints, we will store 10 segmented slap images which are also used in the matching process to increase accuracy, print features and descriptors. All image sizes conform to the maximum ANSI/NIST-ITL-2000 standard dimensions. Motorola has provided an expansion option that will support the 10 year EOL requirement, if NSP determines that they need to expand the NAFIS to support the volumetric growth in the latter years. The proposed system exceeds the requirement with enough capacity for 400,000 upper, lower and writers palm records through end of base design life. All image sizes conform to the maximum ANSI/NIST-ITL-2000 standard dimensions. The proposed system meets the capacity requirement of 75,000 latent records including both latent fingerprints and latent palm prints The BIS AFIS automates the entry of fingerprint and palm print cards at the workstations. The operator has the optional capability to enhance any capture image to improve its quality. When the workstation submits its fingerprint and palm print cases, the BIS AFIS workflow will process the cases according to settings of the Workflow Parameters Screen. Before and after AFIS searching, there is decision logic to determine whether or not an operator must perform quality control and search verification. When the BIS AFIS Server receives fingerprint and palm print cases, all image and descriptor data is stored in the database. As the cases under go lights-out searching, the database will be updated with the results of searching as well as optional quality control, search verification, and case disposition. Since all biometric data is stored in the Oracle database with complete audit tracking of changes made during AFIS processing, the integrity and accuracy of the AFIS database is ensure in order to increase the productivity for all NAFIS users. The Printmaker BIS includes the Oracle 10g relation database to power the Advanced Data Storage (ADS) to provide a complete digital image repository of all processed records. Records can readily be queried, retrieved, viewed, and printed via a web browser; moreover they can be edited, modified, and even deleted by a privileged operation. Thus, the NSP can put existing hardcopy fingerprint cards into vaulted storage if it so chooses to save facility space at the operation site to create a paperless environment Motorola will implement a specific workflow for the MultiPrint Stations that will allow NSP to scan and add legacy criminal and civil cards to the Printrak BIS. Both fingerprint as well as palm print cards can be scanned at 1,000 ppi in either a batch or standalone mode. These legacy records will be scanned and processed by the Printrak BIS but they will strictly be added to the Archive database. These records will not added to the Printrak BIS AMS for potential AFIS searching; however these records can be queried for operator retrieval, viewing, and printing. Before the scanned legacy records are added to the Archive database, they will be checked for quality based upon the established quality threshold parameters for sequencing, classification, and image quality. If they are below the thresholds, then the records will be placed in a workflow queue requiring operator quality control before adding to the Archive database. After the records are added and stored online, NSP can confidently either destroy or remove the legacy records from the site. Figure 5-1 below illustrates the proposed workflow.

    21. System Accuracy System accuracy is influenced by: Quality of images in the database Workflow design Training program Proficiency testing/ remediation training The FBI accuracy is 95 to 98%. The database has the best quality images of any database in the country. I would estimate the other state and local databases around 90% The big reason poor quality images in the database Ga. Case resulting in a number of homicidesThe big reason poor quality images in the database Ga. Case resulting in a number of homicides

    22. Lives can Unit Today over 70% of the fingerprint cards are captured and digitized by lives can units. Inked cards are the accepted at state level. Images are captured at either 500 or 1,000 ppi Nebraska has 15-20 lives can units on the system. The system is designed to require a mugs hot and palm images on all arrest cards misdemeanor or felony. The state requires 1,000 ppi lives can units and is currently scanning all images into the system at 1,000 ppi Nebraska has approximately 40,000 new transactions a year, approximately are people already in the database from a previous arrest. So in addition to the cost 1000ppi units cost 2X the 500ppi units the bandwidth required to receive the images is a significant . Nebraska has 15-20 lives can units on the system.

So in addition to the cost 1000ppi units cost 2X the 500ppi units the bandwidth required to receive the images is a significant .

    23. Quality Control Good quality finger/palm images are critical to the AFIS database. Prints sent from the coder are viewed by a trained technician. Thresholds monitored by the system administrator who deter- mines the amount of work going to Q.C The current system is designed for 5-10% of the transactions to go to Q.C The coder is more sensitive and has thresholds set by the system administrator which dictates what images will go to Q.C. If the threshold is sending to much to the Q.C queue the savings in manpower and time diminish. NYS has less than 10% of the images going to Q.C and does a name search before Q.C to cut down on the number of images. Nebraska has the Q.C threshold set so probably 50% of the cards require some Q.C work and the name search is after the Q.C. Ten Print quality control on only approximately 5%-10% of the fingerprint submissions. If images make it to Q.C with fingers out of sequence and no reprint is available they can sometimes be corrected electronically. This will allow the history to go to the FBI with the images in proper sequence as well as the search database, the image however is stored as it was originally recorded with the incorrect sequencing. The Printrak BIS uses Quality Control Decision Logic (QCDL) to determine the need within a processing workflow to have an operator perform quality control. Upon receipt of the LSS booking will look at the following quality parameters to determine whether or not a quality control will be required for fingerprint bookings: ?? Interdigital Match of the Upper Palm prints versus Fingerprint Slap Impression ?? Interdigital Match of the Upper Palm prints versus Lower Palm printsThe coder is more sensitive and has thresholds set by the system administrator which dictates what images will go to Q.C.

    25. Matcher The newer systems are now using the 8 best rolled images for the ten print search. Older systems oft used 2 fingers, NYC used the thumbs while NYS used the index fingers. The index and thumbs usually have large numbers of minutia so this was a pretty accurate system when storage costs were more significant. The Advanced Matching Service (AMS) is modular comprised of Adaptive Match Controller (AMC), Adaptive Matcher Processors (AMPs), Expert Matcher (EM), Gray-Scale Matcher (GSM), and Palm print Adaptive Match Processors (PAMPs). The AMC has dedicated search queues with multiple priority internal queues for the different types of searches: ?? Two Finger (2F) versus Ten print File (TPF) ?? Ten print (TP) versus Ten print File (TPF) ?? Ten print (TP) versus Unsolved Latent Finger File (ULF) ?? Latent Finger (LT) versus Latent Cognizant File (LCF) ?? Latent Finger (LT) versus Unsolved Latent Finger File (ULF) ?? Palm print (PP) versus Unsolved Latent Palm File (ULP) ?? Latent Palm (LP) versus Palm print File (PPF) ?? Latent Palm (LP) versus Unsolved Latent Palm File (ULP) In configuring the AMS, Motorola performs a system analysis to determine the number of AMPs, EM, GSM, and PAMPs required. Motorola will specifically allocate a dedicated number of AMPs and PAMPs to the different queues to support parallel processing of AFIS search requests to ensure daily and specific search response performance.The Advanced Matching Service (AMS) is modular comprised of Adaptive Match Controller (AMC), Adaptive Matcher Processors (AMPs), Expert Matcher (EM), Gray-Scale Matcher (GSM), and Palm print Adaptive Match Processors (PAMPs).

    26. Lights Out Functionality This allows the system to make a determination of Identification or Non-Identification. Currently NYS is using this on non-criminal transactions with excellent results. It could be a way for a small state system like Nebraska to supplement ten print examiners. Us the lights out for the initial verification. The system administrator would be required to monitor thresholds more closely but it would improve system accuracy without increasing staffing requirements.

Improve database quality, accuracy, and user productivity, increasing the number of searches conducted and enabling the NAFIS to more efficiently carry out comparisons and operations. Comply. Motorola will perform an electronic conversion of the existing AFIS 2000 and Omnitrak NIST Archive records. These converted records will undergo Printrak BIS image processing including new algorithms to enhance image quality as well as extract applicable (ten print only) minutiae, EXPERT match, and grayscale match features. The enhanced images and additional features will be used by the AMS with its improved search algorithms to increase search accuracy in order to identify more suspects and solve more crimes. 2.1.1 By implementing an integrated AFIS / palm print system, the NAFIS intends to automate fingerprint and palm print record entry, apply optional automation and enhancement techniques to latent fingerprint and palm print entry, automate print comparison, allow optional automation of ten print: ten print hit/no-hit determinations, and store all applicable record data. Use of an integrated, computerized system with advanced features to perform fingerprint and palm print tasks is expected to significantly increase productivity and accuracy over the present system. Comply. The Printrak BIS possesses a number of additional features beyond the existing Nebraska Series 2000 and Omnitrak AFIS. With its multi-tier architecture and latest algorithms and databases, the Printrak BIS provides the following capabilities: ?? Palm print search and storage. ?? Improved image quality for superior feature extraction of minutiae. ?? Improved accuracy for both fingerprint and latent searches. ?? Automate workflow management with lights-out search and identification to process more cases with less staff or support more remote lives can users. ?? Latent Case Management to Track All Image Enhancements. ?? National fingerprint file functionality to promote co-operation with FBI IAFIS to improve fingerprint record quality. ?? Oracle database to store all data for a comprehensive archive repository. 00-0603-09 5-5 State of Nebraska 2.1.2 The proposed NAFIS will also centralize data storage and file maintenance activities, making fingerprint and palm print as well as potential future mug shots, scars, marks and tattoo information available for search by all participating agencies in the most expeditious manner possible. All proposed equipment must meet published standards for image capture, compression, and exchange, as listed in section 3 Compliance to Standards Comply. The Printrak BIS includes an Oracle database within the ADS to store all transaction, descriptor, and image data indexed per identified person and/or processed incident. Not only does the AFIS database store fingerprints, palm prints, and latent; it will also store mug shots, scars, marks, tattoos and signatures from lives can bookings. This provides a complete digital repository for NSP to manage its criminal records. All fingerprint/palm print capture equipment, card printers, and compression algorithms are certified by the FBI to the highest level forensic quality in order to ensure no meaningful loss of AFIS image quality. All Printrak BIS equipment meets published standards for image capture, compression, and exchange. 2.1.3 The NAFIS expects to either upgrade and/or replace existing Lives can Stations for high resolution fingerprint/ / palm print card creation as well as mug shots, scars, marks, tattoos and signature capture. The lives can devices will be fully integrated with the NAFIS. They will support image and text validation before submission, allow direct electronic search request and data transfer, and allow printout of one or more fingerprint/ / palm print cards when desired. Comply. Motorola will replace all existing Lives can Stations with new Motorola Printrak Lives can Stations-Ruggedized (LSS-R). The LSS-R includes a FBI certified live scanner and card printer as well as mugs hot capture (digital) camera and signature capture tablet. These Lives can Stations include an electronic interface with the Printrak BIS for real-time transmission of booking submissions. Also, the Lives can Stations can generate and print FBI applicant, criminal, and palm print cards as well as disposition reports. All lives can devices will be fully integrated with the NAFIS and will support image and text validation before submission, allow direct electronic search request and data transfer, and allow printout of one or more fingerprint/palm print cards when desired. 2.1.4 Ten print, palm print, and/ / or latent capabilities at any given site will be supported as defined in Section 8. Comply. Please refer to our detailed response provided in Section 8 of this proposal. Motorola will configure the Printrak BIS to fully meet your specified capacity, daily workload, and performance requirements with spare capacity for future growth. Due to the fact that Printrak BIS is both modular and scalable, if the NSP requires additional capacity and workload, then additional RAID storage and AMS computer will only need to be installed to achieve this potential growth. Thus, NSP can be confident about return on acquisition investment as well as cost-effectiveness to upgrade in the future. 00-0603-09 5-6 State of Nebraska 2.1.5 The NAFIS intends to fully automate ten print and palm print card entry, apply optional automation and enhancement techniques to ten print and palm print entry, automate print comparison, automate and enhance hit / no-hit determinations, and store all applicable data that can assist in print search processing. Use of an integrated, computerized system with advanced features to perform fingerprint and palm print tasks is expected to significantly increase productivity and accuracy over the present system. Comply. The BIS AFIS automates the entry of fingerprint and palm print cards at the workstations. The operator has the optional capability to enhance any capture image to improve its quality. When the workstation submits its fingerprint and palm print cases, the BIS AFIS workflow will process the cases according to settings of the Workflow Parameters Screen. Before and after AFIS searching, there is decision logic to determine whether or not an operator must perform quality control and search verification. When the BIS AFIS Server receives fingerprint and palm print cases, all image and descriptor data is stored in the database. As the cases under go lights-out searching, the database will be updated with the results of searching as well as optional quality control, search verification, and case disposition. Since all biometric data is stored in the Oracle database with complete audit tracking of changes made during AFIS processing, the integrity and accuracy of the AFIS database is ensure in order to increase the productivity for all NAFIS users. 2.1.6 The proposed NAFIS will also make NAFIS fingerprint data available on a widespread basis via Intranet capabilities and applications to all devices currently connected to the NAFIS. Comply. As mentioned earlier, the Printmaker BIS includes an Oracle database that can be accessed from a web browser contained within the Web Station software licenses. NSP will have 21 of these licenses distributed over the Printrak BIS workstations and NSP provided PCs. From the web browser an operator can access the Printrak BIS; perform quality control, search verification, and case disposition; perform database maintenance; and manage the AFIS, as well as retrieve, view, and print records. 2.1.7 All proposed equipment must meet published standards for image capture, compression, and exchange, as listed below in section 3. Comply. As mentioned earlier, all fingerprint/palm print capture equipment, card printers, and compression algorithms are certified by the FBI to the highest level forensic quality in order to ensure no meaningful loss of AFIS image quality. Furthermore, Motorola uses the only FBI certified palmprint livescanner to capture the palmprints in three parts, according to NIST standards. Since the palmprint impressions are captured flat, there is no distortion to the thenar and hypothenar areas. This improves the hit rate on a latent palmprint search. 00-0603-09 5-7 State of Nebraska 2.1.8 The NAFIS expects to enhance its inkless live-capture of tenprints for fingerprint/ / palm print card creation and NAFIS database storage. The live-scan devices will be fully integrated with NAFIS. They will allow direct electronic search request and data transfer as well as printout of one or more ten print cards when desired. In order for the selected live-scan devices to provide consistently excellent data that enhances database quality and search accuracy, they must use current fingerprint industry standards for fingerprint and palm print image processing. Comply. Motorola will replace all existing LiveScan Stations with new Motorola Printrak LiveScan Stations-Ruggedized (LSS-R). The LSS-R includes a FBI certified livescanner and card printer as well as mugshot and signature capture. These Live Scan Stations include an electronic interface with the Printrak BIS for real-time transmission of booking submissions. The Live Scan Stations also include a Case Manager, where all the last 1,000 bookings are locally archived and able to be reviewed and printed. The Live Scan Stations can generate and print FBI applicant, criminal, and palm print cards as well as disposition reports. All live scans use AFIS algorithms that are current with fingerprint industry standards for fingerprint and palm print image processing 2.1.9 The NAFIS expects to formulate its data into a paperless environment. Comply. The Printrak BIS includes the Oracle 10g relation database to power the Advanced Data Storage (ADS) to provide a complete digital image repository of all processed records. Records can readily be queried, retrieved, viewed, and printed via a web browser; moreover they can be edited, modified, and even deleted by a privileged operation. Thus, the NSP can put existing hardcopy fingerprint cards into vaulted storage if it so chooses to save facility space at the operation site to create a paperless environment. 2.1.10 Ten print, Live Scan, palm print, mugshot, signature capture and/or latent capabilities at any given site will be supported as defined in paragraphs on System Workload in section 8. Comply. Motorola will configure the Printrak BIS to fully meet and exceed your specified capacity, daily workload, and performance requirements. All provided computer hardware is COTS equipment manufactured by Dell and is the latest current enterprise offering. All servers and workstations will possess ample memory and storage to effectively host the system software (both application and operating system) and sufficiently process work in progress cases. Details are provided later in this Technical Response. 2.1.11 The bidder will note in this section as well as the RFP, the term subsystem is used as a description of the individual functions required of the system. This term does not mandate or dictate unless otherwise stated that this system must be a standalone or included in another system process function. The vendor will specify that whether or not they are proposing this function to be a standalone processor / server or whether it is handled in part by another subsystem within the NAFIS. Understood. 00-0603-09 5-8 State of Nebraska Motorola understands that NSP definition of subsystem is the description of the individual functions required of the system; moreover physically that subsystem may be either standalone, integrated, and/or distributed between equipment. In response to applicable RFP requirements, Motorola will identify the applicable equipment components that provide the specified functionality. 2.1.12 Future Capabilities 2.1.12.1 Regional Records Exchange for Ten print, Palm Print, Mugshots and Latent A desirable feature of the NAFIS is the ability to share fingerprint, palm print mugshots and latent search records between Nebraska and one or more other states. The NAFIS will be capable of supporting such interconnectivity in an effective and efficient manner. The bidder will describe their concept to achieve this future goal. Comply. The Printrak BIS can either cross search and/or exchange ten print, palm print, and latent records with other regional AFIS systems. For Nebraska, Motorola can provide interoperability with the following: 1. Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) 2. Midwest Automated Fingerprint Network (MAFIN): a. South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) b. North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) c. Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) 3.

Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) 9. Tennessee State Bureau of Investigation (TBI) To either cross search or exchange records with a Printrak BIS state customer (such as Iowa DCI), the Printrak BIS systems in both states will need to be configured to allow multiple agencies to exchange and search records using the native JMS/SOAP API as well as XML data and JAR image format.

Adding Legacy Records to the Archive The NAFIS has a substantial number of ten print records in the current ten print database that are not included in the current NIST archive. These exist as printed criminal and civil fingerprint cards on the shelf. The NAFIS intends to use staff to add these to the new NAFIS archive over a period of time after installation of the new system, and to destroy the paper records at the end of that project. This process should be streamlined to archive add with QC and / or search. The bidder will suggest an approach to accomplishing this conversion and describe how the new NAFIS equipment and workflow will support that approach. The addition of these records to the archive will not be part of the NAFIS contract. Comply. Motorola will implement a specific workflow for the MultiPrint Stations that will allow NSP to scan and add legacy criminal and civil cards to the Printrak BIS. Both fingerprint as well as palm print cards can be scanned at 1,000 ppi in either a batch or standalone mode. These legacy records will be scanned and processed by the Printrak BIS but they will strictly be added to the Archive database. These records will not added to the Printrak BIS AMS for potential AFIS searching; however these records can be queried for operator retrieval, viewing, and printing. Before the scanned legacy records are added to the Archive database, they will be checked for quality based upon the established quality threshold parameters for sequencing, classification, and image quality. If they are below the thresholds, then the records will be placed in a workflow queue requiring operator quality control before adding to the Archive database. After the records are added and stored online, NSP can confidently either destroy or remove the legacy records from the site. Figure 5-1 below illustrates the proposed workflow. 00-0603-09 5-11 State of Nebraska Figure 5-1. Legacy Records Workflow to add to Archive 00-0603-09 5-12 State of Nebraska Although the proposed Printrak BIS includes the workflow functionality to scan and add these legacy records, the system was not sized to store these records in addition to the specified AFIS volumetrics and capacities. Nevertheless the proposed DELL/EMC CX500 SAN can readily be expanded to store hundreds of thousands of legacy records. Motorola will be pleased to provide such an upgrade option upon request from NSP. 2.1.12.3.Two-Finger Identification A desirable extension of NAFIS services is the use of two-finger identification for a wide variety of identification needs that are supplementary to a complete ten print submission. This functionality would support both mobile and wired applications for specified functions, to include identification verification for law enforcement field interviews, confinement / custodial control, access to secured sites, court appearances, probation and parole control, offender registration updates, resubmission of periodic background checks, homeland security control measures and social entitlement programs. The bidder will describe their solution for this capability. Comply. The Printrak BIS can provide two finger identification in addition to the proposed tenprint, palm print, and latent identification capabilities. Both two finger identification (1:Many Searching) and two finger verification (1:1 Matching) are readily available; moreover Motorola will provide these two finger workflows for both the proposed Printrak BIS and Live Scan Stations. That is, in addition to the applicant, criminal, and registrant processing profiles on the Live Scan Stations, there will be the following two finger identification profiles: ?? Quick Identification (QID) ?? Quick Verification (QV) Both these profiles are ideally suitable for jail intake and release activities as well as identify criminal offenders during court appearances, probation hearings, and parole visits. These integrated workflows are illustrated in the following two figures: 00-0603-09 5-13 State of Nebraska Figure 5-2. Live Scan Quick ID Workflow 00-0603-09 5-14 State of Nebraska Figure 5-3. Live Scan Quick Verify Workflow Although these profiles are available on the Motorola Printrak Live Scan Stations, they will also be available on optional Verify Stations and Mobile ID Terminals. The Motorola Printrak Verify Station provides a simple and intuitive capture process using single finger scanner. It makes it easy for its operator to acquire biometrics and enter descriptor data to perform a real-time verification against the live captured biometrics (1:1 matching). It may also achieve identification by searching a Printrak BIS database (for 1:N matching). The Verify Station is depicted in Figure 5-4 below. 00-0603-09 5-15 State of Nebraska Figure 5-4. Motorola Printrak Verify Station Although the proposed Printrak BIS and AMS possess sufficient matching power to respond to 200 daily two finger identification requests, the Printrak BIS can optionally be further upgrade to support remote Mobile ID Terminals (MIDT) over wireless wide area network (WWAN). The upgrade consists of implementing Data Gateway Services (DGS) within the Printrak BIS Server in order to receive, process, and respond to MIDT search requests over WWAN such as Tetra radio or GSM cellular networks. The optional MIDTs are CrossMatch MV100 mobile single finger scanners that include both an optical forensic quality scanner and PDA equipped with Microsoft Pocket PC operating system. Motorola installs its Mobile AFIS (MAFIS) client software on the MV100 to provide the following: ?? Capture 1 x 1 fingerprints at 500 ppi. ?? Perform AFIS image processing to ensure overall image quality and extract fingerprint minutiae and expert match features. ?? Enter demographic data via stylus selectable picklists. ?? Capture optional mugshots. ?? Store up to 50,000 fingerprint records on the local database. ?? Perform 1:1 matching or 1:Many searching against the local database. ?? Submit fingerprint features and demographic data for 1:1 matching or 1:Many searching against the Printrak BIS at the central site. ?? Receive hit/no-hit message with optional mugshots from the Printrak BIS The MV100 is depicted in Figure 5-5 below. 00-0603-09 5-16 State of Nebraska Figure 5-5. Mobile ID Terminal CrossMatch MV100 Harris County has been successful with the Motorola Printrak BIS and chose to pilot a related project, the Motorola Mobile AFIS project, which was conducted in late 2004. Motorolas ability to interface with the state NEC system, its ability to accommodate Harris Countys requests, and its ability to upgrade have allowed Harris County to achieve the interoperability, speed, and accuracy requirements needed to make its Texas community safe. 2.1.12.4.Move to Extended Markup Language (XML) At the point that the FBI permits the transmission of XML records to IAFIS, the NAFIS will make a final decision about implementation of that standard. It is the present intention of NAFIS to move to XML transmissions from AFIS to IAFIS and at a later time to also replace NIST format transmissions from livescan to the NAFIS. The system will comply with GJXDM whenever possible. Comply. The Printrak BIS possesses the present capability to transmit XML formatted data submissions to the FBI whenever the IAFIS is sufficiently upgraded to receive and process such submissions. The Printrak BIS architecture is compliant with J2EE standards, and in turn includes Java Message Services (JMS) to exchange data with other J2EE compliant systems. Also, it stores descriptors internally as XML data in the Oracle database. Motorola has more experience with XML than any other AFIS vendor, having internally used XML on our systems since 2002 starting with Oklahoma. Together using JMS and XML, the Printrak BIS can interoperate with any external system supporting similar standards. Presently the Printrak BIS supports the XML V3.0 standards and will be upgraded in a future minor software release to be fully GJXML compliant. When local and regional management systems are upgraded to be compliant with GJXML, then the Printrak BIS can provide a JAPI to seamless exchange data submissions to alleviate redundant data entry and disseminate the AFIS search results and archive records. 00-0603-09 5-17 State of Nebraska Finally NIST is in the process of upgrading the Data Exchange Standard to include XML formatted logical records for both data and images. Motorola has been an active participant in the XML discussions relative to this revision. The Printrak BIS will have the capability to support legacy NIST as well as future XML NIST. Thus, the Printrak BIS can support interfaces for existing and future livescan stations. 2.1.12.5. Disaster Recovery In the event of a natural disaster or similar occurrence that would render the NAFIS partially or fully inoperative, the NAFIS desires to have a plan to resume full NAFIS services. To this end the bidder will propose a disaster / recovery plan that will work in consonance with the proposed NAFIS. This proposal should cover a variety of likely situations and may include various options for response. The bidder will describe the approach and procedures to regain system availability in the event of a: Comply. Motorola has provided an option to implement a Printrak BIS Disaster Recovery System (DRS) based upon a warm business continuity solution. The Printrak BIS -DRS would provide NSP will all the necessary NAFIS functionality to identify persons and solve crimes as well as receive search requests from remote AFIS workstations and submissions from remote LiveScan Stations. The DRS could be commanded to functional and operational takeover the daily workload from the production NAFIS in just few hours based upon the availability and cutover of the WAN communications. The Printrak BIS -DRS equipment will be equivalent but minimal number of components to process and search the daily workload. The proposed DRS includes both servers, workstations, and peripherals as depicted in Figure 5-6 below. Figure 5-6. Printrak BIS Disaster Recovery System for NSP 00-0603-09 5-18 State of Nebraska 2.1.12.5.1 Catastrophic AFIS failure in which all or most of the host systems key components are non-repairable. Comply. The proposed optional Printrak-DRS can readily be commanded to take over NAFIS operations if there is a catastrophic failure at the NSP central site. All remote workstations and livescan stations can transmit either their requests or submissions including external interfaces to the DRS assuming the WAN is cut over. When the production equipment is repaired, NAFIS command and control can be restored to the NSP central site. 2.1.12.5.2 Natural disaster in which the host system is unusable for AFIS operations. Comply. The proposed optional Printrak BIS-DRS can readily be commanded to take over NAFIS operations if there is a natural disaster that either damages or destroys the NSP central site. All remote workstations and livescan stations can transmit either their requests or submissions to the DRS assuming the WAN is available. The DRS can be used for daily operations, until NSP and Motorola agree to terms to manufacture and deploy a Printrak BIS replacement system for the NSP central production site. 2.1.12.5.3 Livescan hard drive failure with unsubmitted bookings. Comply. The proposed optional Printrak BIS-DRS receives Printrak BIS production system data updates using Oracle database replication. Typically, work in process such as new livescan submissions and workstation requests are transmitted using incremental or snapshot replications throughout the operational day. The vast majority of livescan submissions can therefore be cut over during startup of the DRS. However if this doesnt occur, Printrak LiveScan Stations can optionally upgraded with same submission manager software as AFIS workstations to fully ensure that the Printrak BIS server received and is processing requests. If not, then the LiveScan Station can resubmit the submission for AFIS processing. 00-0603-09 5-19 State of Nebraska 5.3 Compliance to Standards (RFP IV.3) 3.1 All AFIS components offered will be designed to meet the following public standards: ?? FBI WSQ Gray-Scale Image Compression Specification (IAFIS-IC-001v2, February 16, 1993). Comply. All AFIS components offered meet the FBI WSQ Gray-Scale Image Compression Specification (IAFIS-IC-001v2, February 16, 1993) public standard. Motorola is dedicated to standards compliance, and was the first AFIS vendor to achieve FBI certification for its WSQ compression algorithm. The FBI letter of certification can be provided. The compression/decompression algorithm resides on each Printrak BIS workstation. ?? ANSI Standard, Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial, and Scar-Markand- Tattoo (SMT) Information (ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000). Comply. All AFIS components offered meet the ANSI Standard, Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial, and Scar-Mark-and-Tattoo (SMT) Information (ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000) public standard. ?? FBI Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Specification (EFTS) (CJIS-RS-0010 (V7), January 29, 1999), including Appendix F image quality specifications. (and compatible with most current version). Comply. All AFIS components offered meet the FBI Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Specification (EFTS) (CJIS-RS-0010 (V7), January 29, 1999), including Appendix F image quality specifications. ?? FBI NCIC CJIS WAN Protocol Specification and IAFIS telecommunications standards that specify use of TCP/IP, availability of FTP, and X.25 capability. Comply. All AFIS components offered meet the FBI NCIC CJIS WAN Protocol Specification and IAFIS telecommunications standards that specify use of TCP/IP, availability of FTP, and X.25 capability. 3.1.1 Types of Transactions. 3.1.1.1 The specific transactions listed below will be supported by the applicable system components: ?? Ten-finger livescan devices, as well as the server subsystem, will support the transmission of an EFTS CAR, CNA, FANC, MAP, and NFUF transactions. Comply. 00-0603-09 5-20 State of Nebraska The offered ten-finger livescan devices, as well as the server subsystem, support the transmission of EFTS Criminal Ten-Print Submission (Answer Required) (CAR), Criminal Ten-Print Submission (No Answer Necessary) (CNA), Federal Applicant (No Charge) (FANC), Miscellaneous Applicant Civil (MAP), and Non-Federal Applicant User Fee (NFUF) transactions. These are standard transactions included in the Printrak BIS. ?? Ten-finger livescan devices, as well as the server subsystem will support the reception of EFTS SRE and ERRT transactions. Comply. The offered ten-finger livescan devices, as well as the server subsystem, support the reception of EFTS Submission Results Electronic (SRE) and Ten Print Transaction Error (ERRT) transactions. These are standard transactions included in the Printrak BIS. ?? The server subsystem will support the transmission of EFTS and LFFS transactions. Comply. The offered server subsystem supports the transmission of EFTS Latent Fingerprint Features Search (LFFS) transactions. These are standard transactions included in the Printrak BIS. ?? The server subsystem will support the reception of EFTS SRL, ERRL, and transactions. Comply. The offered server subsystem supports the reception of EFTS Search Results Latent (SRL) and Latent Transaction Error (ERRL) transactions. These are standard transactions included in the Printrak BIS. 3.1.2 Architecture Bidder will describe its system architecture and its conformance with the current workflow as described in Section 8. NAFIS requires the use of web browsers for secured access to centrally-stored data. Comply. When developing the successor to the Series 2000 product, Motorola chose to develop its new product on an XML-aware multi-tier architecture platform (rather than the older client-server platform used in Nebraska's previous system, and in some competitive offerings). Motorola understands that a reliable and advanced architecture that can be integrated into your current IT environment is important to NSP, as Motorola is the only AFIS vendor with proven experience delivering true multi-tier architecture since 2002. Motorolas standard Printrak BIS solution uses a state-of-the-art multi-tier architecture, comprising the Presentation Tier, the Business Tier, and the Data Tier. With over 50 Printrak BIS systems delivered, Motorola has extensive experience in implementing multi-tier architecture solutions. This architecture also allows expanded support of a Service Oriented Architecture implementation. 00-0603-09 5-21 State of Nebraska The following diagram depicts the multi-tier architecture. The section following the diagram provides an overview of each tier of the architecture. Multi-Tier Architecture Highly adaptable and scaleable to customer requirements. ?? Presentation Tier. The presentation tier provides capture and analysis of fingerprints, palmprints, and facial images. For basic purposes, this can be thought of as the workstation level. This incorporates the MultiPrint Station, which is also known as a thick client, and the Review Station , which is a web-based thin client tool that provides Quality Control, Verification, Home Page (tracking and troubleshooting cases), Roles and Privileges, Compare Records, Charting, Database Maintenance and more. The Review Station web based applications can be loaded on any PC that meets minimum requirements, including a desktop PC. The Review Station allows you to get more done from the comfort of your own work area. ?? Business Tier. The Business Tier is used to intelligently manage system elements. This tier centralizes the business logic and the transaction workflow as opposed to client/server architecture that provides these items throughout the entire system. The benefit of centralizing this information is to make your operations more efficient. For example, when user privileges are set, they are set once through a web-based application and it is not necessary to set privileges on each individual workstation. Along these same lines, when a workflow change is implemented, only the business tier must be updated- the data tier and presentation tier do not have to be updated (given that there no graphical user interface changes). This tier is considered the most configurable and one of the key components of the Printrak BIS. The image below illustrates the business tier structure. Whereas the Data Tier is powered by Oracle database software in addition to Printrak custom developed matching, exchange, and image processing software, the Business Tier is power JBOSS Application Server and Apache Tomcat Web Server. Motorola programs a customer business logic and workflow rules within the application server and publishes the results of the AFIS processing on a Home Page hosted by the web server. Both the JBOSS Application Server (AS) and Apache Tomcat Server (ATS) are the foundational component of the JBOSS Enterprise Middleware System (JEMS), the Open Source for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). SOA is an approach for building distributed systems that deliver application functionality as loosely-coupled services. SOA provides a standard way to represent and interact with AFIS application functionality by leveraging open standards such as Global Justice XML. The entire JEMS suite includes JBOSS AS, ATS, Hibernate, JBOSS Cache, JBOSS jBPM, and JBOSS Eclipse IDE. The near term future Printrak BIS Roadmap will include incorporating additional JEMS products in order to possess greater SOA features, benefits, and capabilities. This is critical to improve interoperability and integration across a CJIS enterprise, including AFIS, CAD, CCH, Livescans, RMS, etc. in order to promote and reuse of all CJIS application services to alleviate redundant data entry during booking, disseminate AFIS search results, and exchange CJIS meta data including mugshots, demographics, criminal history, and rapsheets. 00-0603-09 5-22 State of Nebraska Figure 5-7. The Business Tier. Intelligently manages other system elements. ?? Data Tier. Data Storage on the proposed system is accomplished through the Advanced Data Server (ADS) function. The ADS has been designed to easily store any type of data, such as fingerprints, palmprints, facial images, descriptor information, and more. Cases are stored as Person records with associated Incidents in order to maintain multiple records per person. The ADS is an Oracle 10g database, which will provide NSP the latest database technology available in the marketplace today. Motorola understands that the protection and security of your AFIS data is critical to your operations, and therefore a reliable and proven database solution, Oracle, is used for data storage. Furthermore, it is understood that NSP teams work together to ensure that the AFIS system is fully integrated and supported in your current IT infrastructure, and we have found that many organizations already have experience and expertise with Oracle. Overall, the use of Oracle in the data tier of the Printrak BIS multi-tier architecture provides NSP storage security, reliability, familiarity. Figure 5-8 below depicts a high level view of the multi-tier architecture for the proposed solution. 00-0603-09 5-23 State of Nebraska Figure 5-8. Advanced Data Server. Architecture that efficiently manages data storage. 00-0603-09 5-24 State of Nebraska 5.4 Tenprint and Palmprint Capabilities (RFP IV.4.) 4.1 Tenprint and Palmprint Card Entry Comply. The offered solution provides Tenprint and Palmprint Card Entry capabilities including ?? Entry of prints from tenprint/palmprint cards or live-scanned tenprint and palm data ?? Fully automated processing of data following image capture and descriptor entry ?? Automated search initiation and hit/no-hit determination ?? Optional review of search results. 4.2 Tenprint and palmprint capabilities will include entry from tenprint work area./ palmprint ink cards and live-scanned tenprint / palmprint data, fully automated processing of data following image capture and descriptor entry, automated search initiation and hit / no-hit determination, and optional review of search results. Understood Motorola understands the NSP envisions that NAFIS will posses dedicated workstations for fingerprint and palmprint card entry; however additional workstations will be utilized to support the subsequent and automated lights-out searching including discretionary queuing for operator quality control, search verification, and case disposition. 4.2.1 The workstation(s) provided for this function will meet applicable occupational health and safety regulations. Workstation furniture, where provided, will be ergonomically designed to accommodate standard physical characteristics (i.e., 50th percentile of world population height). The design will facilitate improved productivity, both in terms of furnishings and in terms of the screen design and graphical user interface tools incorporated in the applications software. Comply. Motorolas workstations are designed to meet health and safety standards, are ergonomically designed, and provide improved productivity in terms of screen design and graphical user interfaces. Due to the amount of time AFIS and latent experts spend in front of a computer, it is understandable that health and ergonomics are a requirement of the NSP. Workstations are standard, off the shelf PCs, and therefore health and ergonomic conditions are the same as in your standard PC environment. In terms of furniture, desks are motorized to move up and down to accommodate a wide range of heights. This applies to keyboard sections of the desk as well. Chairs provided with the desks provide height adjustments as well as a wide range of recline levels to improve lumbar support, reduce strain on the lower back and provide a more comfortable environment. The Motorola LiveScan Station (LSS) workstations comply with all applicable occupational health and safety regulations and are ergonomically designed to accommodate not merely the required 50th percentile, but the 90th percentile of the population, making fingerprinting comfortable for virtually all operators. The LSS was designed for use by new and experienced booking officers to facilitate productivity. Scanners are at 40 inches high for booking stations, which allows a large pool of the population to be fingerprinted comfortably. The LiveScan 00-0603-09 5-25 State of Nebraska Station scanner also provides an angled surface so the hand fits comfortably on the scanner and the correct print position is obtained, while the precision scanning platens are waterproof to protect the workstation from various fluids and for ease of cleaning. Furthermore, LiveScan Stations include touch screen, keyboard, and mice to navigate screens and enter information. The operator may choose the entry method most comfortable for him/her. Printrak BIS graphical user interfaces are designed with a resolution of 1600x1200 to ensure AFIS and latent operators have the highest resolution possible to see the fine detail in prints that is necessary for matching. Color codes have written text to accommodate for colorblindness. Screens have large buttons and status bars to inform the user of the next steps required for execution of a workflow. The intuitive graphical user interface guides users through the workflow, and an extensive online help application can answer most questions. LiveScan Stations graphical user interfaces are designed with the end-user booking officer in mind. The buttons are large to accommodate for round fingers pressing the touch screen to navigate screens, while fingerprints and palmprint images have ample screen space to display fully. Status bars are provided to easily guide the user from screen to screen. With this level of ergonomic fit and well designed graphical user interfaces, AFIS, latent, and LiveScan Station operators should be able to work for many hours in comfort. Additionally, the intuitive user interface should be able to help users through any problems they may have. The Printrak BIS MultiPrint Stations for card entry include furniture designed for both ergonomic comfort and productivity as well as ADA compliant. The work surfaces and chair include a number of adjustments: ?? Height ?? Lumbar ?? Tilt 00-0603-09 5-26 State of Nebraska The following figure illustrates the overall ergonomic design of the MultiPrint Station: Figure 5-9. Printrak BIS AFIS MultiPrint Station While the MultiPrint Station may include the Digital Camera and Workbench (for latent case/print entry) as well as flatbed scanner, the PrintScan Station strictly includes the flatbed scanner for fingerprint and palmprint card entry. The Printrak BIS Workstations are Windows-based and therefore include a Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI) as well as Web Browser Interface to facilitate the operators work experience. The GUI is illustrated in Figure 5-10 below. 00-0603-09 5-27 State of Nebraska Figure 5-10. Printrak BIS GUI The Motorola Printrak application bar, shown in preceding figure, normally appears on the right side of the screen. The application bar contains icons and application menus, as summarized in Table 5-3 below. Table 5-3. Description of Printrak BIS AFIS GUI Software Elements Icon Application Description PrintScan Application Allows users to capture tenprint and palmprint cards, enter demographic descriptors, and submit cases for search. This application is part of the PrintScan workstation software. Card Format Editor Allows the user to create and edit tenprint and palmprint card formats. This application is part of the PrintScan workstation software. Quality Control Allows the user to perform quality control on a case. Accessed through the Home Page Home Page Use the Home Page to view the status of Printrak BIS cases, transactions, and queues, and to select cases for further work. 00-0603-09 5-28 State of Nebraska Icon Application Description Quality Control Use the Quality Control application to examine data in a fingerprint or palmprint case, and determine if the data is sufficient to allow for matching when the records are searched. Accessed through the Home Page Case Verification Use the Case Verification application to verify or review search results, compare search images to respondent images, and determine if an identification (Ident) has been made. Print Screen Use Print Screen to print a copy of a displayed screen to a designated printer. Web Reports Use Web Reports to format case and activity data into reports for viewing, saving, exporting, or printing. 4.2.2 At the point of print capture, the equipment workstation must support the following capabilities: 4.2.2.1. Use of a high-resolution (500 dots and 1000 pixels per inch or higher) flatbed) scanner for tenprint / palmprint card entry, accommodating a wide variety of tenprint card formats and paper stocks. Comply. High-resolution capture can be at 500 ppi or 1000 ppi through a flatbed scanner for tenprint/ palmprint card entry, accommodating a wide variety of tenprint card formats, such as the standard FBI cards, and paper stocks. 4.2.2.2. Capture of rolled finger images, slap (plain) finger images, lower palm images, upper palm images, and/or writers palm images. Comply. The proposed LiveScan Stations and PrintScan Stations (tenprint and palmprint card scanning) capture rolled finger images, slap (plain) finger images, lower palm images, upper palm images, and/or writers palm images. Furthermore, the system automatically performs roll to slap comparisons of the rolled images to four finger slaps, and an interdigital match of the upper and lower palms. This assures that all fingerprints and palmprints are from the same person, and can be used as in court as documentation. 4.2.2.3. Capture of larger rolled image areas (equal to or greater than 1.5 x 1.6) and other print areas in compliance with industry standards for fingerprint capture. Comply. The proposed MultiPrint Stations are fully compliant with appropriate industry standards including those included in the FBI document CJIS EFTS Appendix F. 00-0603-09 5-29 State of Nebraska Motorola LiveScan Stations and MultiPrint Stations (tenprint and palmprint card scanning) workstations capture larger rolled image areas (equal to or greater than 1.5 x 1.6) and other print areas in compliance with international standards for fingerprint capture. Previous Motorola systems and some competitive systems captured one inch by one inch, while the larger capture area of 1.5x1.6 allows for more print detail, which may help in matching latent images to those of known criminals to solve more crimes. Figure 5-11. MultiPrint Station can scan both fingerprint and palmprint cards. Figure 5-12. Software scans and processes images compliant with NIST and EFTS standards. For LiveScan, the large platen has a scanning surface measuring 5.5 x 6.25 inches (13.97 x 15.875 centimeters). The scanning surface of the small glass platen measures 2.25 x 2.25 inches (5.715 x 5.715 centimeters). 00-0603-09 5-30 State of Nebraska 4.2.2.4. Ability to review capture areas and to correct for improperly captured fingerprint/ / palmprint images by adjusting the location and angle of the fingers/palms and the capture boxes. Comply. The ability to review capture areas and to correct for improperly capture finger and palmprints is a standard feature in the Printrak BIS workstations. Motorola understands that the quality of prints in the database can make the difference between capturing a criminal and letting him go free. The PrintScan Station (tenprint and palmprint card scanning) allows users, with the simple click of an icon, to reverse right hand and left hand rolls, four finger slaps, and thumb slaps in the event the incorrect hand was rolled on an inked card. Users can also easily rotate the image if necessary. These easy to execute features assure that users have intuitive tools that are easily accessible to provide the best quality prints possible for storage in the database and for matching. A second check for review of the capture areas occurs at manual Quality Control, which is an optional step in the workflow for tenprints and palmprint operations. Quality Control allows an operator to review the overall quality of a case, including the ability to switch fingers, review the roll-to-slap comparison and switch fingers if necessary, evaluate and modify minutiae, adjust classification, and rotate images. Each capture initiates an immediate quality check feedback to the operator to facilitate recapture of improperly captured fingerprint/palmprint images of the print if necessary. Figure 5-13. Quality Control Screen. Provides quality review, modification and rescanning of prints. 00-0603-09 5-31 State of Nebraska 4.2.2.5. Simple, straightforward pre-programming of multiple card formats. Comply. Motorola provides an extensive library of card formats that can be utilized by NSP. The preprogrammed formats eliminate the need for the customer to program the formats. Additionally, the Card Format Editor Tool will be provided to NSP in the event new card formats are required. This puts control in the hands of NSP and allows NSP to create their own card formats if necessary, and does not require service from Motorola. The screenshot of Motorolas straightforward pre-programming of multiple card formats is shown in Figure 5-14 below. Figure 5-14. Card Format Editor Screen. To program multiple card formats. 4.2.2.6. Automatic segmentation of four-finger slap image sets for matching purposes only. The image itself will remain un-segmented, but separate features for each finger in the image will be derived. Comply. After a card is scanned on the MultiPrint Station, or after live-scanned impressions are captured on the LiveScan Station, Motorolas unique print processing algorithm automatically separates four-finger slap group images into individual fingers for processing (while retaining the four-finger slap original image) for matching purposes. 00-0603-09 5-32 State of Nebraska 4.2.2.7. Automated fingerprint/palmprint image enhancement and clarification. Comply. Automated fingerprint/palmprint image enhancements provided by Motorola will allow NSP to submit higher quality prints without performing additional work, which will improve the productivity of your organization. The Gabor filter is one example of automated image enhancement. This tool filters between the dark ridges and white valleys in order clarify ridge details more clearly. Figure 5-15 below provides a representation of the beginning, middle, and end process of the Gabor process. As one can see in the figure, the blotches in the first photo are significantly reduced in order for the user to see more detail in the print. Original Image Gabor Filter first pass Gabor Filter second pass Figure 5-15. Gabor Filter Passes To further enhance the efficiency the Printrak BIS, minutiae and secondary matching details are automatically extracted from prints. Other automated image enhancements and automated minutiae and feature extraction are applied after use of the Gabor filter (Figure 5-16). 1. The original captured fingerprint (see Figure 5-16, image1 below) is enhanced by removing noise (Gabor Filter) and enhancing the true image of the fingerprint ridges (see Figure 5-16, image 2 below). The enhancement process is adaptive, which means it applies greater or lesser amounts of processing power depending on the quality of the initial image. 6. The enhanced image is then thinned so that a skeleton image (consisting only of lines) is produced. This thinned image (see Figure 5-16, image 3 below) is retained for later use as part of Motorolas exclusive EXPERT Matching process. This allows the system to take ridge direction into account in searching and matching. 7. Individual minutiae are then extracted from the thinned image (see Figure 5-16, image 4 below). Motorolas minutiae processing algorithm contains special procedures that minimize the number of false minutiae arising from over-inking, under-inking, smudges and heavy pressure on live scan prints. This improves system matching accuracy and is critical for large databases. 00-0603-09 5-33 State of Nebraska Figure 5-16. Motorola Minutiae Extraction Steps. Special procedures minimize the number of false minutiae. 4.2.2.8. Automated print processing, including determination of minutiae location, ridge direction, and any other features that may be automatically derived from the fingerprint or palmprint. All pre-search processing will be automated and will be performed without human intervention, supporting twenty-four hour per day print submissions. Comply. After a card is scanned on the PrintScan Station, or after live-scanned impressions are captured on the LiveScan Station, Motorolas proprietary print processing algorithm automatically performs the following steps: ?? Separates four-finger slap group images into individual fingers for processing (while retaining the original image) ?? Prepares the print for feature extraction ?? Extracts minutiae and EXPERT features including thinned image, core/delta, minutiae constellation and ridge flow/direction ?? Evaluates image quality ?? Identifies data inconsistencies (e.g., errors resulting from slap-to-roll comparison) ?? Submits the search to the Advanced Data Server All of these processes are automatic, requiring no operator intervention or special fingerprint training, and allowing print submissions 24 hours per day. Real time fingerprint quality checking is provided through a software tool in Data Exchange Services (DES) and Data Processing Services (DPS). These tools provide users with assurances that the fingerprint image(s) (i.e., slap four fingerprint images, rolled images and flat images) are the correct image, are the image intended, and are of sufficient quality to permit further processing. This software was developed to provide user-friendly AFIS operation. The goal was to minimize any operator decisions regarding print quality, if those decisions could be made by software instead. Together DES and DPS meet this goal. 00-0603-09 5-34 State of Nebraska 4.2.2.9. Keyboard entry of descriptors as defined in Section 15 Type Two Record of this RFP. Comply. The proposed print capture processes will provide for keyboard entry of descriptors as defined in this RFP. 4.2.2.10 Fully automatic comparison of each rolled image against the corresponding plain impression, to ensure proper finger placement and no erroneous capture, before data is forwarded to NAFIS. To support twenty-four hour per day print submissions, this procedure will also be automated. Comply. After all flat impression prints have been captured, Motorola uses minutiae to compare the flat and rolled fingerprints to ensure proper placement. A discrete comparison is automatically performed during each and every rolled impression capture, however the software can be configured to perform this comparison after all images have been captured. The LiveScan Stations support individual finger replacement in case of error. Poor quality or mismatched fingers (i.e., fingers not rolled in the proper order according to an automatic comparison of the rolled and flat fingers) can be replaced at the discretion of the operator. 4.2.2.11. Automatic identification of individual rolled/slap fingerprint print quality, and automated selection of the best quality search fingers (rolls or slaps) to use in the search. This procedure will also be automated. Comply. The system automatically determines the print quality for each finger (A: Excellent, B: Good, C: Average, R: Poor). The best fingers to use in the search are then automatically identified by using the overall print qualities. 4.2.2.12 Automated processing and automated correction features, which reduce the need for manual quality review of non-latent prints (fingerprints or palmprints). Automated processing and correction must be available twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week. Comply. The offered Printrak BIS solution provides automated processing and automated correction features, which reduce the need for manual quality review of non-latent prints (fingerprints or palmprints). Automated processing and correction are available twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week. 00-0603-09 5-35 State of Nebraska 4.2.2.13 Complete entry of a minimum of 60 cards in a peak hour, with sufficient capacity to complete the specified daily workload averaged over the stated workday. Comply. The proposed MultiPrint Stations are sized together to easily complete the entry of a minimum of 60 cards in a peak hour, with ample capacity to complete the specified daily workload averaged over the stated workday. Two of the MultiPrint Stations will be configured with flatbed scanners including an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). The ADF can be used during either discrete card or batch card entry. 4.2.2.14. Ability to continue tenprint entry even if central processing equipment is temporarily unavailable. Comply. The offered LiveScan Stations and MultiPrint Stations can continue tenprint entry if the central processing equipment is temporarily unavailable. 4.3 Tenprint / Palmprint Workstation Capabilities 4.3.1 The tenprint / palmprint workstation will include the FBI RFES software.

The new NAFIS will have the ability to interface with third party vendor livescans. MANDATORY Comply. The Printrak BIS will provide an interface to receive submissions from Printrak LiveScan Stations and third party vendor livescans for real-time AFIS search and storage processing. Printrak BIS uses Data Exchange Services (DES) and Date Processing Services (DPS) for both local and remote livescan submissions. DES is a front-end process to receive and parse ANSI/NIST formatted submissions; meanwhile DPS performs AFIS image processing including image quality assessment, roll to slap comparison, and feature extraction. Motorola will replace all existing LiveScan Station Series 2000 and 3000U units with new Motorola Printrak LiveScan Stations - Ruggedized (LSS-R) and LiveScan Station Desktop (LSS-D) units. The LSS includes the newly developed and manufactured LScan 1000P model scanner from Smiths Heimann Biometrics (SHB). The SHB LScan 1000P scanner is fully certified by the FBI to CJIS/EFTS Appendix F-IQS for 1,000 ppi image capture; moreover it is easy to use just roll the finger at any speed, and simply place fingers and palms on the scanner platen. The LSS Graphical User Interface (GUI) instantly shows the capture impressions and thereby makes the use intuitive and easy as possible. The LSS is used to electronically capture photos, demographic data, fingerprint, and palmprint images. Special AFIS software performs a quality check and extracts minutiae on each fingerprint scan. The system provides a hand placement and duplicate finger check by comparing rolled fingerprint scans to slap prints, and thumb rolls to thumb slaps. Fingerprint as well as palmprint cards can be printed on a high-resolution laser printer. 5.1.1 The third party vendor livescan will support NAFIS integration for support of Quality Control, Search Verification and rescan functions. Comply. The LSS devices support quality control by providing indications of sequence errors, where the fingers may have been captured our of sequence, and Palm to Slap errors, where the application ensures that the palms captured belong to the same person as the slaps. The LiveScan Station also provides case management features that allow for case editing and rescan of any previously capture images. The Printrak BIS will seamlessly integrate the LSS. After receipt of the LSS data and processing by the DES and DPS services, the Printrak BIS Server utilizes Intelligent Decision Logic (IDL) to determine the need for operator involvement with respect to Quality Control and/or Search Verification. The operator will use the Quality Control application to examine data in a fingerprint or palmprint case, and determine if the data are sufficient to allow for matching when the records are searched. If the data are insufficient, then the operator can reject the data. In turn, the Printrak BIS can generate and transmit a rescan request to the originating LSS. 00-0603-09 5-39 State of Nebraska The operator will use the Case Verification application to verify or review search results, compare search images to respondent images, and determine if an identification (Ident) has been made. The results of a search are contained in a match report. The match report lists the respondents by case ID, with the highest scoring respondent listed first. The highest scoring respondent is most likely to be a match, commonly called an Ident. In the Case Verification application, any case ID in the match report can be selected for viewing. Search images are displayed side-by-side with respondent images. After the search case is compared to the respondent case(s), the operator determines whether or not an Ident has been made. 5.1.2 The livescans provided for this function will meet applicable occupational health and safety regulations. Livescans will be ergonomically designed to accommodate standard physical characteristics (i.e., 50th percentile of world population height). Equipment will be designed to fit through a standard 28 door. The design will facilitate improved productivity, both in terms of furnishings and in terms of the screen design and graphical user interface tools incorporated in the applications software. Comply. The LSS-R is designed to meet most ergonomic standards through their physical characteristics, furnishings and user interfaces.

Upon receipt of the livescan data at the Printrak BIS the system automatically determines the fingers to use in the search. The system bases this determination on the overall print quality and uses both the rolled and plain images. The system uses the best images for a tenprint search. 5.2.1.2.6. Support for automated processing and automated correction features which eliminate the need for manual quality review of nonlatent prints (fingerprints or palmprints). Comply. Real time fingerprint quality checking is provided through the Data Processing Services (DPS). This service provides users with assurances that the fingerprint image(s) (i.e., slap four fingerprint images, rolled images and flat images) are the correct image, are the image intended, and are of sufficient quality to permit further processing This software was developed to provide user-friendly AFIS operation. The goal was to minimize any operator decisions regarding print quality, if those decisions could be made by software instead. The system performs the following fingerprint quality checks: Minimum Number of Minutiae. If the software does not detect a sufficient number of minutiae to support potential AFIS search processing, the operator is prompted with the suggested corrective action (including rescanning the print or flat to roll substitution). Good Quality Images. If the software does not detect any image quality problems, the image will be accepted. If for any reason the software detects a possible problem the operator is prompted with the possible corrective action (including rescanning request or flat to roll substitution). 00-0603-09 5-49 State of Nebraska Slap to Roll. The Slap to Roll sequencing check is used to compare the sequencing of the tenprint rolled images against the four-finger slap images and the flat thumbs. A warning message is presented to the operator if a fingerprint fails the sequencing check. The operator may then select the finger in question and request rescanning. Light/Dark Images. The software confirms that the general image brightness is well adjusted. In the case of the image or any portion of the image being too dark or too light the software highlights this fact, generates the appropriate message, and suggests that the finger should be rescanned. Smudged Images. The software checks for images that contain smudged areas, and detects whether the fingerprint was shifted or rotated during the rolling. When such movements are detected, a message is generated that identifies the problem (e.g., a smudged image) and requests that the fingerprint be rescanned Flat or Rolled Image. The software checks to determine if a rolled image was really rolled or if the image is only a flat impression, based upon the following criteria: ?? A rolled impression will, in most instances, have a greater width than the flat impression included in the slaps ?? The number of minutiae present is different when flat impressions are compared with rolled fingerprint impressions In all situations, the operator has override capabilities. If the operator issues an override command, this action is recorded in the Audit Trail and included in the appropriate Management Report. 5.2.1.2.7. Compression of images at the workstation livescan, prior to transfer to NAFIS, allowing for a more efficient use of the NAFIS network. Compression will use an FBI-certified algorithm. Comply.

All Printrak BIS equipment meets published standards for image capture, compression, and exchange. 2.1.3 The NAFIS expects to either upgrade and/or replace existing Lives can Stations for high resolution fingerprint/ / palm print card creation as well as mug shots, scars, marks, tattoos and signature capture. The lives can devices will be fully integrated with the NAFIS. They will support image and text validation before submission, allow direct electronic search request and data transfer, and allow printout of one or more fingerprint/ / palm print cards when desired. Comply. Motorola will replace all existing Lives can Stations with new Motorola Printrak Lives can Stations-Ruggedized (LSS-R). The LSS-R includes a FBI certified live scanner and card printer as well as mugs hot capture (digital) camera and signature capture tablet. These Lives can Stations include an electronic interface with the Printrak BIS for real-time transmission of booking submissions. Also, the Lives can Stations can generate and print FBI applicant, criminal, and palm print cards as well as disposition reports. All lives can devices will be fully integrated with the NAFIS and will support image and text validation before submission, allow direct electronic search request and data transfer, and allow printout of one or more fingerprint/palm print cards when desired. 2.1.4 Ten print, palm print, and/ / or latent capabilities at any given site will be supported as defined in Section 8. Comply. Please refer to our detailed response provided in Section 8 of this proposal. Motorola will configure the Printrak BIS to fully meet your specified capacity, daily workload, and performance requirements with spare capacity for future growth. Due to the fact that Printrak BIS is both modular and scalable, if the NSP requires additional capacity and workload, then additional RAID storage and AMS computer will only need to be installed to achieve this potential growth. Thus, NSP can be confident about return on acquisition investment as well as cost-effectiveness to upgrade in the future. 00-0603-09 5-6 State of Nebraska 2.1.5 The NAFIS intends to fully automate ten print and palm print card entry, apply optional automation and enhancement techniques to ten print and palm print entry, automate print comparison, automate and enhance hit / no-hit determinations, and store all applicable data that can assist in print search processing. Use of an integrated, computerized system with advanced features to perform fingerprint and palm print tasks is expected to significantly increase productivity and accuracy over the present system. Comply. The BIS AFIS automates the entry of fingerprint and palm print cards at the workstations. The operator has the optional capability to enhance any capture image to improve its quality. When the workstation submits its fingerprint and palm print cases, the BIS AFIS workflow will process the cases according to settings of the Workflow Parameters Screen. Before and after AFIS searching, there is decision logic to determine whether or not an operator must perform quality control and search verification. When the BIS AFIS Server receives fingerprint and palm print cases, all image and descriptor data is stored in the database. As the cases under go lights-out searching, the database will be updated with the results of searching as well as optional quality control, search verification, and case disposition. Since all biometric data is stored in the Oracle database with complete audit tracking of changes made during AFIS processing, the integrity and accuracy of the AFIS database is ensure in order to increase the productivity for all NAFIS users. 2.1.6 The proposed NAFIS will also make NAFIS fingerprint data available on a widespread basis via Intranet capabilities and applications to all devices currently connected to the NAFIS. Comply. As mentioned earlier, the Printmaker BIS includes an Oracle database that can be accessed from a web browser contained within the Web Station software licenses. NSP will have 21 of these licenses distributed over the Printrak BIS workstations and NSP provided PCs. From the web browser an operator can access the Printrak BIS; perform quality control, search verification, and case disposition; perform database maintenance; and manage the AFIS, as well as retrieve, view, and print records. 2.1.7 All proposed equipment must meet published standards for image capture, compression, and exchange, as listed below in section 3. Comply. As mentioned earlier, all fingerprint/palm print capture equipment, card printers, and compression algorithms are certified by the FBI to the highest level forensic quality in order to ensure no meaningful loss of AFIS image quality. Furthermore, Motorola uses the only FBI certified palmprint livescanner to capture the palmprints in three parts, according to NIST standards. Since the palmprint impressions are captured flat, there is no distortion to the thenar and hypothenar areas. This improves the hit rate on a latent palmprint search. 00-0603-09 5-7 State of Nebraska 2.1.8 The NAFIS expects to enhance its inkless live-capture of tenprints for fingerprint/ / palm print card creation and NAFIS database storage. The live-scan devices will be fully integrated with NAFIS. They will allow direct electronic search request and data transfer as well as printout of one or more ten print cards when desired. In order for the selected live-scan devices to provide consistently excellent data that enhances database quality and search accuracy, they must use current fingerprint industry standards for fingerprint and palm print image processing. Comply. Motorola will replace all existing LiveScan Stations with new Motorola Printrak LiveScan Stations-Ruggedized (LSS-R). The LSS-R includes a FBI certified livescanner and card printer as well as mugshot and signature capture. These Live Scan Stations include an electronic interface with the Printrak BIS for real-time transmission of booking submissions. The Live Scan Stations also include a Case Manager, where all the last 1,000 bookings are locally archived and able to be reviewed and printed. The Live Scan Stations can generate and print FBI applicant, criminal, and palm print cards as well as disposition reports. All live scans use AFIS algorithms that are current with fingerprint industry standards for fingerprint and palm print image processing 2.1.9 The NAFIS expects to formulate its data into a paperless environment. Comply. The Printrak BIS includes the Oracle 10g relation database to power the Advanced Data Storage (ADS) to provide a complete digital image repository of all processed records. Records can readily be queried, retrieved, viewed, and printed via a web browser; moreover they can be edited, modified, and even deleted by a privileged operation. Thus, the NSP can put existing hardcopy fingerprint cards into vaulted storage if it so chooses to save facility space at the operation site to create a paperless environment. 2.1.10 Ten print, Live Scan, palm print, mugshot, signature capture and/or latent capabilities at any given site will be supported as defined in paragraphs on System Workload in section 8. Comply. Motorola will configure the Printrak BIS to fully meet and exceed your specified capacity, daily workload, and performance requirements. All provided computer hardware is COTS equipment manufactured by Dell and is the latest current enterprise offering. All servers and workstations will possess ample memory and storage to effectively host the system software (both application and operating system) and sufficiently process work in progress cases. Details are provided later in this Technical Response. 2.1.11 The bidder will note in this section as well as the RFP, the term subsystem is used as a description of the individual functions required of the system. This term does not mandate or dictate unless otherwise stated that this system must be a standalone or included in another system process function. The vendor will specify that whether or not they are proposing this function to be a standalone processor / server or whether it is handled in part by another subsystem within the NAFIS. Understood. 00-0603-09 5-8 State of Nebraska Motorola understands that NSP definition of subsystem is the description of the individual functions required of the system; moreover physically that subsystem may be either standalone, integrated, and/or distributed between equipment. In response to applicable RFP requirements, Motorola will identify the applicable equipment components that provide the specified functionality. 2.1.12 Future Capabilities 2.1.12.1 Regional Records Exchange for Ten print, Palm Print, Mugshots and Latent A desirable feature of the NAFIS is the ability to share fingerprint, palm print mugshots and latent search records between Nebraska and one or more other states. The NAFIS will be capable of supporting such interconnectivity in an effective and efficient manner. The bidder will describe their concept to achieve this future goal. Comply. The Printrak BIS can either cross search and/or exchange ten print, palm print, and latent records with other regional AFIS systems. For Nebraska, Motorola can provide interoperability with the following: 1. Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) 2. Midwest Automated Fingerprint Network (MAFIN): a. South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) b. North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) c. Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) 3. Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) 4. Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) 5. Arkansas State Police (ASP) 6. Kentucky State Police (KSP) 7. Louisiana State Police (LSP) 8. Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) 9. Tennessee State Bureau of Investigation (TBI) To either cross search or exchange records with a Printrak BIS state customer (such as Iowa DCI), the Printrak BIS systems in both states will need to be configured to allow multiple agencies to exchange and search records using the native JMS/SOAP API as well as XML data and JAR image format. Table 5-1 below lists the native transactions that will be supported. 00-0603-09 5-9 State of Nebraska Table 5-1.

Adding Legacy Records to the Archive The NAFIS has a substantial number of ten print records in the current ten print database that are not included in the current NIST archive. These exist as printed criminal and civil fingerprint cards on the shelf. The NAFIS intends to use staff to add these to the new NAFIS archive over a period of time after installation of the new system, and to destroy the paper records at the end of that project. This process should be streamlined to archive add with QC and / or search. The bidder will suggest an approach to accomplishing this conversion and describe how the new NAFIS equipment and workflow will support that approach. The addition of these records to the archive will not be part of the NAFIS contract. Comply. Motorola will implement a specific workflow for the MultiPrint Stations that will allow NSP to scan and add legacy criminal and civil cards to the Printrak BIS. Both fingerprint as well as palm print cards can be scanned at 1,000 ppi in either a batch or standalone mode. These legacy records will be scanned and processed by the Printrak BIS but they will strictly be added to the Archive database. These records will not added to the Printrak BIS AMS for potential AFIS searching; however these records can be queried for operator retrieval, viewing, and printing. Before the scanned legacy records are added to the Archive database, they will be checked for quality based upon the established quality threshold parameters for sequencing, classification, and image quality. If they are below the thresholds, then the records will be placed in a workflow queue requiring operator quality control before adding to the Archive database. After the records are added and stored online, NSP can confidently either destroy or remove the legacy records from the site. Figure 5-1 below illustrates the proposed workflow. 00-0603-09 5-11 State of Nebraska Figure 5-1. Legacy Records Workflow to add to Archive 00-0603-09 5-12 State of Nebraska Although the proposed Printrak BIS includes the workflow functionality to scan and add these legacy records, the system was not sized to store these records in addition to the specified AFIS volumetrics and capacities. Nevertheless the proposed DELL/EMC CX500 SAN can readily be expanded to store hundreds of thousands of legacy records. Motorola will be pleased to provide such an upgrade option upon request from NSP. 2.1.12.3.Two-Finger Identification A desirable extension of NAFIS services is the use of two-finger identification for a wide variety of identification needs that are supplementary to a complete ten print submission. This functionality would support both mobile and wired applications for specified functions, to include identification verification for law enforcement field interviews, confinement / custodial control, access to secured sites, court appearances, probation and parole control, offender registration updates, resubmission of periodic background checks, homeland security control measures and social entitlement programs. The bidder will describe their solution for this capability. Comply. The Printrak BIS can provide two finger identification in addition to the proposed tenprint, palm print, and latent identification capabilities. Both two finger identification (1:Many Searching) and two finger verification (1:1 Matching) are readily available; moreover Motorola will provide these two finger workflows for both the proposed Printrak BIS and Live Scan Stations. That is, in addition to the applicant, criminal, and registrant processing profiles on the Live Scan Stations, there will be the following two finger identification profiles: ?? Quick Identification (QID) ?? Quick Verification (QV) Both these profiles are ideally suitable for jail intake and release activities as well as identify criminal offenders during court appearances, probation hearings, and parole visits. These integrated workflows are illustrated in the following two figures: 00-0603-09 5-13 State of Nebraska Figure 5-2. Live Scan Quick ID Workflow 00-0603-09 5-14 State of Nebraska Figure 5-3. Live Scan Quick Verify Workflow Although these profiles are available on the Motorola Printrak Live Scan Stations, they will also be available on optional Verify Stations and Mobile ID Terminals. The Motorola Printrak Verify Station provides a simple and intuitive capture process using single finger scanner. It makes it easy for its operator to acquire biometrics and enter descriptor data to perform a real-time verification against the live captured biometrics (1:1 matching). It may also achieve identification by searching a Printrak BIS database (for 1:N matching). The Verify Station is depicted in Figure 5-4 below. 00-0603-09 5-15 State of Nebraska Figure 5-4. Motorola Printrak Verify Station Although the proposed Printrak BIS and AMS possess sufficient matching power to respond to 200 daily two finger identification requests, the Printrak BIS can optionally be further upgrade to support remote Mobile ID Terminals (MIDT) over wireless wide area network (WWAN). The upgrade consists of implementing Data Gateway Services (DGS) within the Printrak BIS Server in order to receive, process, and respond to MIDT search requests over WWAN such as Tetra radio or GSM cellular networks. The optional MIDTs are CrossMatch MV100 mobile single finger scanners that include both an optical forensic quality scanner and PDA equipped with Microsoft Pocket PC operating system. Motorola installs its Mobile AFIS (MAFIS) client software on the MV100 to provide the following: ?? Capture 1 x 1 fingerprints at 500 ppi. ?? Perform AFIS image processing to ensure overall image quality and extract fingerprint minutiae and expert match features. ?? Enter demographic data via stylus selectable picklists. ?? Capture optional mugshots. ?? Store up to 50,000 fingerprint records on the local database. ?? Perform 1:1 matching or 1:Many searching against the local database. ?? Submit fingerprint features and demographic data for 1:1 matching or 1:Many searching against the Printrak BIS at the central site. ?? Receive hit/no-hit message with optional mugshots from the Printrak BIS The MV100 is depicted in Figure 5-5 below. 00-0603-09 5-16 State of Nebraska Figure 5-5. Mobile ID Terminal CrossMatch MV100 Harris County has been successful with the Motorola Printrak BIS and chose to pilot a related project, the Motorola Mobile AFIS project, which was conducted in late 2004. Motorolas ability to interface with the state NEC system, its ability to accommodate Harris Countys requests, and its ability to upgrade have allowed Harris County to achieve the interoperability, speed, and accuracy requirements needed to make its Texas community safe. 2.1.12.4.Move to Extended Markup Language (XML) At the point that the FBI permits the transmission of XML records to IAFIS, the NAFIS will make a final decision about implementation of that standard. It is the present intention of NAFIS to move to XML transmissions from AFIS to IAFIS and at a later time to also replace NIST format transmissions from livescan to the NAFIS. The system will comply with GJXDM whenever possible. Comply. The Printrak BIS possesses the present capability to transmit XML formatted data submissions to the FBI whenever the IAFIS is sufficiently upgraded to receive and process such submissions. The Printrak BIS architecture is compliant with J2EE standards, and in turn includes Java Message Services (JMS) to exchange data with other J2EE compliant systems. Also, it stores descriptors internally as XML data in the Oracle database. Motorola has more experience with XML than any other AFIS vendor, having internally used XML on our systems since 2002 starting with Oklahoma. Together using JMS and XML, the Printrak BIS can interoperate with any external system supporting similar standards. Presently the Printrak BIS supports the XML V3.0 standards and will be upgraded in a future minor software release to be fully GJXML compliant. When local and regional management systems are upgraded to be compliant with GJXML, then the Printrak BIS can provide a JAPI to seamless exchange data submissions to alleviate redundant data entry and disseminate the AFIS search results and archive records. 00-0603-09 5-17 State of Nebraska Finally NIST is in the process of upgrading the Data Exchange Standard to include XML formatted logical records for both data and images. Motorola has been an active participant in the XML discussions relative to this revision. The Printrak BIS will have the capability to support legacy NIST as well as future XML NIST. Thus, the Printrak BIS can support interfaces for existing and future livescan stations. 2.1.12.5. Disaster Recovery In the event of a natural disaster or similar occurrence that would render the NAFIS partially or fully inoperative, the NAFIS desires to have a plan to resume full NAFIS services. To this end the bidder will propose a disaster / recovery plan that will work in consonance with the proposed NAFIS. This proposal should cover a variety of likely situations and may include various options for response. The bidder will describe the approach and procedures to regain system availability in the event of a: Comply. Motorola has provided an option to implement a Printrak BIS Disaster Recovery System (DRS) based upon a warm business continuity solution. The Printrak BIS -DRS would provide NSP will all the necessary NAFIS functionality to identify persons and solve crimes as well as receive search requests from remote AFIS workstations and submissions from remote LiveScan Stations. The DRS could be commanded to functional and operational takeover the daily workload from the production NAFIS in just few hours based upon the availability and cutover of the WAN communications. The Printrak BIS -DRS equipment will be equivalent but minimal number of components to process and search the daily workload. The proposed DRS includes both servers, workstations, and peripherals as depicted in Figure 5-6 below. Figure 5-6. Printrak BIS Disaster Recovery System for NSP 00-0603-09 5-18 State of Nebraska 2.1.12.5.1 Catastrophic AFIS failure in which all or most of the host systems key components are non-repairable. Comply. The proposed optional Printrak-DRS can readily be commanded to take over NAFIS operations if there is a catastrophic failure at the NSP central site. All remote workstations and livescan stations can transmit either their requests or submissions including external interfaces to the DRS assuming the WAN is cut over. When the production equipment is repaired, NAFIS command and control can be restored to the NSP central site. 2.1.12.5.2 Natural disaster in which the host system is unusable for AFIS operations. Comply. The proposed optional Printrak BIS-DRS can readily be commanded to take over NAFIS operations if there is a natural disaster that either damages or destroys the NSP central site. All remote workstations and livescan stations can transmit either their requests or submissions to the DRS assuming the WAN is available. The DRS can be used for daily operations, until NSP and Motorola agree to terms to manufacture and deploy a Printrak BIS replacement system for the NSP central production site. 2.1.12.5.3 Livescan hard drive failure with unsubmitted bookings. Comply. The proposed optional Printrak BIS-DRS receives Printrak BIS production system data updates using Oracle database replication. Typically, work in process such as new livescan submissions and workstation requests are transmitted using incremental or snapshot replications throughout the operational day. The vast majority of livescan submissions can therefore be cut over during startup of the DRS. However if this doesnt occur, Printrak LiveScan Stations can optionally upgraded with same submission manager software as AFIS workstations to fully ensure that the Printrak BIS server received and is processing requests. If not, then the LiveScan Station can resubmit the submission for AFIS processing. 00-0603-09 5-19 State of Nebraska 5.3 Compliance to Standards (RFP IV.3) 3.1 All AFIS components offered will be designed to meet the following public standards: ?? FBI WSQ Gray-Scale Image Compression Specification (IAFIS-IC-001v2, February 16, 1993). Comply. All AFIS components offered meet the FBI WSQ Gray-Scale Image Compression Specification (IAFIS-IC-001v2, February 16, 1993) public standard. Motorola is dedicated to standards compliance, and was the first AFIS vendor to achieve FBI certification for its WSQ compression algorithm. The FBI letter of certification can be provided. The compression/decompression algorithm resides on each Printrak BIS workstation. ?? ANSI Standard, Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial, and Scar-Markand- Tattoo (SMT) Information (ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000). Comply. All AFIS components offered meet the ANSI Standard, Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial, and Scar-Mark-and-Tattoo (SMT) Information (ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000) public standard. ?? FBI Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Specification (EFTS) (CJIS-RS-0010 (V7), January 29, 1999), including Appendix F image quality specifications. (and compatible with most current version). Comply. All AFIS components offered meet the FBI Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Specification (EFTS) (CJIS-RS-0010 (V7), January 29, 1999), including Appendix F image quality specifications. ?? FBI NCIC CJIS WAN Protocol Specification and IAFIS telecommunications standards that specify use of TCP/IP, availability of FTP, and X.25 capability. Comply. All AFIS components offered meet the FBI NCIC CJIS WAN Protocol Specification and IAFIS telecommunications standards that specify use of TCP/IP, availability of FTP, and X.25 capability. 3.1.1 Types of Transactions. 3.1.1.1 The specific transactions listed below will be supported by the applicable system components: ?? Ten-finger livescan devices, as well as the server subsystem, will support the transmission of an EFTS CAR, CNA, FANC, MAP, and NFUF transactions. Comply. 00-0603-09 5-20 State of Nebraska The offered ten-finger livescan devices, as well as the server subsystem, support the transmission of EFTS Criminal Ten-Print Submission (Answer Required) (CAR), Criminal Ten-Print Submission (No Answer Necessary) (CNA), Federal Applicant (No Charge) (FANC), Miscellaneous Applicant Civil (MAP), and Non-Federal Applicant User Fee (NFUF) transactions. These are standard transactions included in the Printrak BIS. ?? Ten-finger livescan devices, as well as the server subsystem will support the reception of EFTS SRE and ERRT transactions. Comply. The offered ten-finger livescan devices, as well as the server subsystem, support the reception of EFTS Submission Results Electronic (SRE) and Ten Print Transaction Error (ERRT) transactions. These are standard transactions included in the Printrak BIS. ?? The server subsystem will support the transmission of EFTS and LFFS transactions. Comply. The offered server subsystem supports the transmission of EFTS Latent Fingerprint Features Search (LFFS) transactions. These are standard transactions included in the Printrak BIS. ?? The server subsystem will support the reception of EFTS SRL, ERRL, and transactions. Comply. The offered server subsystem supports the reception of EFTS Search Results Latent (SRL) and Latent Transaction Error (ERRL) transactions. These are standard transactions included in the Printrak BIS. 3.1.2 Architecture Bidder will describe its system architecture and its conformance with the current workflow as described in Section 8. NAFIS requires the use of web browsers for secured access to centrally-stored data. Comply. When developing the successor to the Series 2000 product, Motorola chose to develop its new product on an XML-aware multi-tier architecture platform (rather than the older client-server platform used in Nebraska's previous system, and in some competitive offerings). Motorola understands that a reliable and advanced architecture that can be integrated into your current IT environment is important to NSP, as Motorola is the only AFIS vendor with proven experience delivering true multi-tier architecture since 2002. Motorolas standard Printrak BIS solution uses a state-of-the-art multi-tier architecture, comprising the Presentation Tier, the Business Tier, and the Data Tier. With over 50 Printrak BIS systems delivered, Motorola has extensive experience in implementing multi-tier architecture solutions. This architecture also allows expanded support of a Service Oriented Architecture implementation. 00-0603-09 5-21 State of Nebraska The following diagram depicts the multi-tier architecture. The section following the diagram provides an overview of each tier of the architecture. Multi-Tier Architecture Highly adaptable and scaleable to customer requirements. ?? Presentation Tier. The presentation tier provides capture and analysis of fingerprints, palmprints, and facial images. For basic purposes, this can be thought of as the workstation level. This incorporates the MultiPrint Station, which is also known as a thick client, and the Review Station , which is a web-based thin client tool that provides Quality Control, Verification, Home Page (tracking and troubleshooting cases), Roles and Privileges, Compare Records, Charting, Database Maintenance and more. The Review Station web based applications can be loaded on any PC that meets minimum requirements, including a desktop PC. The Review Station allows you to get more done from the comfort of your own work area. ?? Business Tier. The Business Tier is used to intelligently manage system elements. This tier centralizes the business logic and the transaction workflow as opposed to client/server architecture that provides these items throughout the entire system. The benefit of centralizing this information is to make your operations more efficient. For example, when user privileges are set, they are set once through a web-based application and it is not necessary to set privileges on each individual workstation. Along these same lines, when a workflow change is implemented, only the business tier must be updated- the data tier and presentation tier do not have to be updated (given that there no graphical user interface changes). This tier is considered the most configurable and one of the key components of the Printrak BIS. The image below illustrates the business tier structure. Whereas the Data Tier is powered by Oracle database software in addition to Printrak custom developed matching, exchange, and image processing software, the Business Tier is power JBOSS Application Server and Apache Tomcat Web Server. Motorola programs a customer business logic and workflow rules within the application server and publishes the results of the AFIS processing on a Home Page hosted by the web server. Both the JBOSS Application Server (AS) and Apache Tomcat Server (ATS) are the foundational component of the JBOSS Enterprise Middleware System (JEMS), the Open Source for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). SOA is an approach for building distributed systems that deliver application functionality as loosely-coupled services. SOA provides a standard way to represent and interact with AFIS application functionality by leveraging open standards such as Global Justice XML. The entire JEMS suite includes JBOSS AS, ATS, Hibernate, JBOSS Cache, JBOSS jBPM, and JBOSS Eclipse IDE. The near term future Printrak BIS Roadmap will include incorporating additional JEMS products in order to possess greater SOA features, benefits, and capabilities. This is critical to improve interoperability and integration across a CJIS enterprise, including AFIS, CAD, CCH, Livescans, RMS, etc. in order to promote and reuse of all CJIS application services to alleviate redundant data entry during booking, disseminate AFIS search results, and exchange CJIS meta data including mugshots, demographics, criminal history, and rapsheets. 00-0603-09 5-22 State of Nebraska Figure 5-7. The Business Tier. Intelligently manages other system elements. ?? Data Tier. Data Storage on the proposed system is accomplished through the Advanced Data Server (ADS) function. The ADS has been designed to easily store any type of data, such as fingerprints, palmprints, facial images, descriptor information, and more. Cases are stored as Person records with associated Incidents in order to maintain multiple records per person. The ADS is an Oracle 10g database, which will provide NSP the latest database technology available in the marketplace today. Motorola understands that the protection and security of your AFIS data is critical to your operations, and therefore a reliable and proven database solution, Oracle, is used for data storage. Furthermore, it is understood that NSP teams work together to ensure that the AFIS system is fully integrated and supported in your current IT infrastructure, and we have found that many organizations already have experience and expertise with Oracle. Overall, the use of Oracle in the data tier of the Printrak BIS multi-tier architecture provides NSP storage security, reliability, familiarity. Figure 5-8 below depicts a high level view of the multi-tier architecture for the proposed solution. 00-0603-09 5-23 State of Nebraska Figure 5-8. Advanced Data Server. Architecture that efficiently manages data storage. 00-0603-09 5-24 State of Nebraska 5.4 Tenprint and Palmprint Capabilities (RFP IV.4.) 4.1 Tenprint and Palmprint Card Entry Comply. The offered solution provides Tenprint and Palmprint Card Entry capabilities including ?? Entry of prints from tenprint/palmprint cards or live-scanned tenprint and palm data ?? Fully automated processing of data following image capture and descriptor entry ?? Automated search initiation and hit/no-hit determination ?? Optional review of search results. 4.2 Tenprint and palmprint capabilities will include entry from tenprint work area./ palmprint ink cards and live-scanned tenprint / palmprint data, fully automated processing of data following image capture and descriptor entry, automated search initiation and hit / no-hit determination, and optional review of search results. Understood Motorola understands the NSP envisions that NAFIS will posses dedicated workstations for fingerprint and palmprint card entry; however additional workstations will be utilized to support the subsequent and automated lights-out searching including discretionary queuing for operator quality control, search verification, and case disposition. 4.2.1 The workstation(s) provided for this function will meet applicable occupational health and safety regulations. Workstation furniture, where provided, will be ergonomically designed to accommodate standard physical characteristics (i.e., 50th percentile of world population height). The design will facilitate improved productivity, both in terms of furnishings and in terms of the screen design and graphical user interface tools incorporated in the applications software. Comply. Motorolas workstations are designed to meet health and safety standards, are ergonomically designed, and provide improved productivity in terms of screen design and graphical user interfaces. Due to the amount of time AFIS and latent experts spend in front of a computer, it is understandable that health and ergonomics are a requirement of the NSP. Workstations are standard, off the shelf PCs, and therefore health and ergonomic conditions are the same as in your standard PC environment. In terms of furniture, desks are motorized to move up and down to accommodate a wide range of heights. This applies to keyboard sections of the desk as well. Chairs provided with the desks provide height adjustments as well as a wide range of recline levels to improve lumbar support, reduce strain on the lower back and provide a more comfortable environment. The Motorola LiveScan Station (LSS) workstations comply with all applicable occupational health and safety regulations and are ergonomically designed to accommodate not merely the required 50th percentile, but the 90th percentile of the population, making fingerprinting comfortable for virtually all operators. The LSS was designed for use by new and experienced booking officers to facilitate productivity. Scanners are at 40 inches high for booking stations, which allows a large pool of the population to be fingerprinted comfortably. The LiveScan 00-0603-09 5-25 State of Nebraska Station scanner also provides an angled surface so the hand fits comfortably on the scanner and the correct print position is obtained, while the precision scanning platens are waterproof to protect the workstation from various fluids and for ease of cleaning. Furthermore, LiveScan Stations include touch screen, keyboard, and mice to navigate screens and enter information. The operator may choose the entry method most comfortable for him/her. Printrak BIS graphical user interfaces are designed with a resolution of 1600x1200 to ensure AFIS and latent operators have the highest resolution possible to see the fine detail in prints that is necessary for matching. Color codes have written text to accommodate for colorblindness. Screens have large buttons and status bars to inform the user of the next steps required for execution of a workflow. The intuitive graphical user interface guides users through the workflow, and an extensive online help application can answer most questions. LiveScan Stations graphical user interfaces are designed with the end-user booking officer in mind. The buttons are large to accommodate for round fingers pressing the touch screen to navigate screens, while fingerprints and palmprint images have ample screen space to display fully. Status bars are provided to easily guide the user from screen to screen. With this level of ergonomic fit and well designed graphical user interfaces, AFIS, latent, and LiveScan Station operators should be able to work for many hours in comfort. Additionally, the intuitive user interface should be able to help users through any problems they may have. The Printrak BIS MultiPrint Stations for card entry include furniture designed for both ergonomic comfort and productivity as well as ADA compliant. The work surfaces and chair include a number of adjustments: ?? Height ?? Lumbar ?? Tilt 00-0603-09 5-26 State of Nebraska The following figure illustrates the overall ergonomic design of the MultiPrint Station: Figure 5-9. Printrak BIS AFIS MultiPrint Station While the MultiPrint Station may include the Digital Camera and Workbench (for latent case/print entry) as well as flatbed scanner, the PrintScan Station strictly includes the flatbed scanner for fingerprint and palmprint card entry. The Printrak BIS Workstations are Windows-based and therefore include a Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI) as well as Web Browser Interface to facilitate the operators work experience. The GUI is illustrated in Figure 5-10 below. 00-0603-09 5-27 State of Nebraska Figure 5-10. Printrak BIS GUI The Motorola Printrak application bar, shown in preceding figure, normally appears on the right side of the screen. The application bar contains icons and application menus, as summarized in Table 5-3 below. Table 5-3. Description of Printrak BIS AFIS GUI Software Elements Icon Application Description PrintScan Application Allows users to capture tenprint and palmprint cards, enter demographic descriptors, and submit cases for search. This application is part of the PrintScan workstation software. Card Format Editor Allows the user to create and edit tenprint and palmprint card formats. This application is part of the PrintScan workstation software. Quality Control Allows the user to perform quality control on a case. Accessed through the Home Page Home Page Use the Home Page to view the status of Printrak BIS cases, transactions, and queues, and to select cases for further work. 00-0603-09 5-28 State of Nebraska Icon Application Description Quality Control Use the Quality Control application to examine data in a fingerprint or palmprint case, and determine if the data is sufficient to allow for matching when the records are searched. Accessed through the Home Page Case Verification Use the Case Verification application to verify or review search results, compare search images to respondent images, and determine if an identification (Ident) has been made. Print Screen Use Print Screen to print a copy of a displayed screen to a designated printer. Web Reports Use Web Reports to format case and activity data into reports for viewing, saving, exporting, or printing. 4.2.2 At the point of print capture, the equipment workstation must support the following capabilities: 4.2.2.1. Use of a high-resolution (500 dots and 1000 pixels per inch or higher) flatbed) scanner for tenprint / palmprint card entry, accommodating a wide variety of tenprint card formats and paper stocks. Comply. High-resolution capture can be at 500 ppi or 1000 ppi through a flatbed scanner for tenprint/ palmprint card entry, accommodating a wide variety of tenprint card formats, such as the standard FBI cards, and paper stocks. 4.2.2.2. Capture of rolled finger images, slap (plain) finger images, lower palm images, upper palm images, and/or writers palm images. Comply. The proposed LiveScan Stations and PrintScan Stations (tenprint and palmprint card scanning) capture rolled finger images, slap (plain) finger images, lower palm images, upper palm images, and/or writers palm images. Furthermore, the system automatically performs roll to slap comparisons of the rolled images to four finger slaps, and an interdigital match of the upper and lower palms. This assures that all fingerprints and palmprints are from the same person, and can be used as in court as documentation. 4.2.2.3. Capture of larger rolled image areas (equal to or greater than 1.5 x 1.6) and other print areas in compliance with industry standards for fingerprint capture. Comply. The proposed MultiPrint Stations are fully compliant with appropriate industry standards including those included in the FBI document CJIS EFTS Appendix F. 00-0603-09 5-29 State of Nebraska Motorola LiveScan Stations and MultiPrint Stations (tenprint and palmprint card scanning) workstations capture larger rolled image areas (equal to or greater than 1.5 x 1.6) and other print areas in compliance with international standards for fingerprint capture. Previous Motorola systems and some competitive systems captured one inch by one inch, while the larger capture area of 1.5x1.6 allows for more print detail, which may help in matching latent images to those of known criminals to solve more crimes. Figure 5-11. MultiPrint Station can scan both fingerprint and palmprint cards. Figure 5-12. Software scans and processes images compliant with NIST and EFTS standards. For LiveScan, the large platen has a scanning surface measuring 5.5 x 6.25 inches (13.97 x 15.875 centimeters). The scanning surface of the small glass platen measures 2.25 x 2.25 inches (5.715 x 5.715 centimeters). 00-0603-09 5-30 State of Nebraska 4.2.2.4. Ability to review capture areas and to correct for improperly captured fingerprint/ / palmprint images by adjusting the location and angle of the fingers/palms and the capture boxes. Comply. The ability to review capture areas and to correct for improperly capture finger and palmprints is a standard feature in the Printrak BIS workstations. Motorola understands that the quality of prints in the database can make the difference between capturing a criminal and letting him go free. The PrintScan Station (tenprint and palmprint card scanning) allows users, with the simple click of an icon, to reverse right hand and left hand rolls, four finger slaps, and thumb slaps in the event the incorrect hand was rolled on an inked card. Users can also easily rotate the image if necessary. These easy to execute features assure that users have intuitive tools that are easily accessible to provide the best quality prints possible for storage in the database and for matching. A second check for review of the capture areas occurs at manual Quality Control, which is an optional step in the workflow for tenprints and palmprint operations. Quality Control allows an operator to review the overall quality of a case, including the ability to switch fingers, review the roll-to-slap comparison and switch fingers if necessary, evaluate and modify minutiae, adjust classification, and rotate images. Each capture initiates an immediate quality check feedback to the operator to facilitate recapture of improperly captured fingerprint/palmprint images of the print if necessary. Figure 5-13. Quality Control Screen. Provides quality review, modification and rescanning of prints. 00-0603-09 5-31 State of Nebraska 4.2.2.5. Simple, straightforward pre-programming of multiple card formats. Comply. Motorola provides an extensive library of card formats that can be utilized by NSP. The preprogrammed formats eliminate the need for the customer to program the formats. Additionally, the Card Format Editor Tool will be provided to NSP in the event new card formats are required. This puts control in the hands of NSP and allows NSP to create their own card formats if necessary, and does not require service from Motorola. The screenshot of Motorolas straightforward pre-programming of multiple card formats is shown in Figure 5-14 below. Figure 5-14. Card Format Editor Screen. To program multiple card formats. 4.2.2.6. Automatic segmentation of four-finger slap image sets for matching purposes only. The image itself will remain un-segmented, but separate features for each finger in the image will be derived. Comply. After a card is scanned on the MultiPrint Station, or after live-scanned impressions are captured on the LiveScan Station, Motorolas unique print processing algorithm automatically separates four-finger slap group images into individual fingers for processing (while retaining the four-finger slap original image) for matching purposes. 00-0603-09 5-32 State of Nebraska 4.2.2.7. Automated fingerprint/palmprint image enhancement and clarification. Comply. Automated fingerprint/palmprint image enhancements provided by Motorola will allow NSP to submit higher quality prints without performing additional work, which will improve the productivity of your organization. The Gabor filter is one example of automated image enhancement. This tool filters between the dark ridges and white valleys in order clarify ridge details more clearly. Figure 5-15 below provides a representation of the beginning, middle, and end process of the Gabor process. As one can see in the figure, the blotches in the first photo are significantly reduced in order for the user to see more detail in the print. Original Image Gabor Filter first pass Gabor Filter second pass Figure 5-15. Gabor Filter Passes To further enhance the efficiency the Printrak BIS, minutiae and secondary matching details are automatically extracted from prints. Other automated image enhancements and automated minutiae and feature extraction are applied after use of the Gabor filter (Figure 5-16). 1. The original captured fingerprint (see Figure 5-16, image1 below) is enhanced by removing noise (Gabor Filter) and enhancing the true image of the fingerprint ridges (see Figure 5-16, image 2 below). The enhancement process is adaptive, which means it applies greater or lesser amounts of processing power depending on the quality of the initial image. 6. The enhanced image is then thinned so that a skeleton image (consisting only of lines) is produced. This thinned image (see Figure 5-16, image 3 below) is retained for later use as part of Motorolas exclusive EXPERT Matching process. This allows the system to take ridge direction into account in searching and matching. 7. Individual minutiae are then extracted from the thinned image (see Figure 5-16, image 4 below). Motorolas minutiae processing algorithm contains special procedures that minimize the number of false minutiae arising from over-inking, under-inking, smudges and heavy pressure on live scan prints. This improves system matching accuracy and is critical for large databases. 00-0603-09 5-33 State of Nebraska Figure 5-16. Motorola Minutiae Extraction Steps. Special procedures minimize the number of false minutiae. 4.2.2.8. Automated print processing, including determination of minutiae location, ridge direction, and any other features that may be automatically derived from the fingerprint or palmprint. All pre-search processing will be automated and will be performed without human intervention, supporting twenty-four hour per day print submissions. Comply. After a card is scanned on the PrintScan Station, or after live-scanned impressions are captured on the LiveScan Station, Motorolas proprietary print processing algorithm automatically performs the following steps: ?? Separates four-finger slap group images into individual fingers for processing (while retaining the original image) ?? Prepares the print for feature extraction ?? Extracts minutiae and EXPERT features including thinned image, core/delta, minutiae constellation and ridge flow/direction ?? Evaluates image quality ?? Identifies data inconsistencies (e.g., errors resulting from slap-to-roll comparison) ?? Submits the search to the Advanced Data Server All of these processes are automatic, requiring no operator intervention or special fingerprint training, and allowing print submissions 24 hours per day. Real time fingerprint quality checking is provided through a software tool in Data Exchange Services (DES) and Data Processing Services (DPS). These tools provide users with assurances that the fingerprint image(s) (i.e., slap four fingerprint images, rolled images and flat images) are the correct image, are the image intended, and are of sufficient quality to permit further processing. This software was developed to provide user-friendly AFIS operation. The goal was to minimize any operator decisions regarding print quality, if those decisions could be made by software instead. Together DES and DPS meet this goal. 00-0603-09 5-34 State of Nebraska 4.2.2.9. Keyboard entry of descriptors as defined in Section 15 Type Two Record of this RFP. Comply. The proposed print capture processes will provide for keyboard entry of descriptors as defined in this RFP. 4.2.2.10 Fully automatic comparison of each rolled image against the corresponding plain impression, to ensure proper finger placement and no erroneous capture, before data is forwarded to NAFIS. To support twenty-four hour per day print submissions, this procedure will also be automated. Comply. After all flat impression prints have been captured, Motorola uses minutiae to compare the flat and rolled fingerprints to ensure proper placement. A discrete comparison is automatically performed during each and every rolled impression capture, however the software can be configured to perform this comparison after all images have been captured. The LiveScan Stations support individual finger replacement in case of error. Poor quality or mismatched fingers (i.e., fingers not rolled in the proper order according to an automatic comparison of the rolled and flat fingers) can be replaced at the discretion of the operator. 4.2.2.11. Automatic identification of individual rolled/slap fingerprint print quality, and automated selection of the best quality search fingers (rolls or slaps) to use in the search. This procedure will also be automated. Comply. The system automatically determines the print quality for each finger (A: Excellent, B: Good, C: Average, R: Poor). The best fingers to use in the search are then automatically identified by using the overall print qualities. 4.2.2.12 Automated processing and automated correction features, which reduce the need for manual quality review of non-latent prints (fingerprints or palmprints). Automated processing and correction must be available twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week. Comply. The offered Printrak BIS solution provides automated processing and automated correction features, which reduce the need for manual quality review of non-latent prints (fingerprints or palmprints). Automated processing and correction are available twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week. 00-0603-09 5-35 State of Nebraska 4.2.2.13 Complete entry of a minimum of 60 cards in a peak hour, with sufficient capacity to complete the specified daily workload averaged over the stated workday. Comply. The proposed MultiPrint Stations are sized together to easily complete the entry of a minimum of 60 cards in a peak hour, with ample capacity to complete the specified daily workload averaged over the stated workday. Two of the MultiPrint Stations will be configured with flatbed scanners including an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). The ADF can be used during either discrete card or batch card entry. 4.2.2.14. Ability to continue tenprint entry even if central processing equipment is temporarily unavailable. Comply. The offered LiveScan Stations and MultiPrint Stations can continue tenprint entry if the central processing equipment is temporarily unavailable. 4.3 Tenprint / Palmprint Workstation Capabilities 4.3.1 The tenprint / palmprint workstation will include the FBI RFES software.

Perform Database Backups 00-0603-09 5-38 State of Nebraska 5.5 LiveScan Entry (RFP IV.5) 5.1 The system will support direct interface of local or remote livescan devices to the NAFIS. The new NAFIS will have the ability to interface with third party vendor livescans. MANDATORY Comply. The Printrak BIS will provide an interface to receive submissions from Printrak LiveScan Stations and third party vendor livescans for real-time AFIS search and storage processing. Printrak BIS uses Data Exchange Services (DES) and Date Processing Services (DPS) for both local and remote livescan submissions. DES is a front-end process to receive and parse ANSI/NIST formatted submissions; meanwhile DPS performs AFIS image processing including image quality assessment, roll to slap comparison, and feature extraction. Motorola will replace all existing LiveScan Station Series 2000 and 3000U units with new Motorola Printrak LiveScan Stations - Ruggedized (LSS-R) and LiveScan Station Desktop (LSS-D) units. The LSS includes the newly developed and manufactured LScan 1000P model scanner from Smiths Heimann Biometrics (SHB). The SHB LScan 1000P scanner is fully certified by the FBI to CJIS/EFTS Appendix F-IQS for 1,000 ppi image capture; moreover it is easy to use just roll the finger at any speed, and simply place fingers and palms on the scanner platen. The LSS Graphical User Interface (GUI) instantly shows the capture impressions and thereby makes the use intuitive and easy as possible. The LSS is used to electronically capture photos, demographic data, fingerprint, and palmprint images. Special AFIS software performs a quality check and extracts minutiae on each fingerprint scan. The system provides a hand placement and duplicate finger check by comparing rolled fingerprint scans to slap prints, and thumb rolls to thumb slaps. Fingerprint as well as palmprint cards can be printed on a high-resolution laser printer. 5.1.1 The third party vendor livescan will support NAFIS integration for support of Quality Control, Search Verification and rescan functions. Comply. The LSS devices support quality control by providing indications of sequence errors, where the fingers may have been captured our of sequence, and Palm to Slap errors, where the application ensures that the palms captured belong to the same person as the slaps. The LiveScan Station also provides case management features that allow for case editing and rescan of any previously capture images. The Printrak BIS will seamlessly integrate the LSS. After receipt of the LSS data and processing by the DES and DPS services, the Printrak BIS Server utilizes Intelligent Decision Logic (IDL) to determine the need for operator involvement with respect to Quality Control and/or Search Verification. The operator will use the Quality Control application to examine data in a fingerprint or palmprint case, and determine if the data are sufficient to allow for matching when the records are searched. If the data are insufficient, then the operator can reject the data. In turn, the Printrak BIS can generate and transmit a rescan request to the originating LSS. 00-0603-09 5-39 State of Nebraska The operator will use the Case Verification application to verify or review search results, compare search images to respondent images, and determine if an identification (Ident) has been made. The results of a search are contained in a match report. The match report lists the respondents by case ID, with the highest scoring respondent listed first. The highest scoring respondent is most likely to be a match, commonly called an Ident. In the Case Verification application, any case ID in the match report can be selected for viewing. Search images are displayed side-by-side with respondent images. After the search case is compared to the respondent case(s), the operator determines whether or not an Ident has been made. 5.1.2 The livescans provided for this function will meet applicable occupational health and safety regulations. Livescans will be ergonomically designed to accommodate standard physical characteristics (i.e., 50th percentile of world population height). Equipment will be designed to fit through a standard 28 door. The design will facilitate improved productivity, both in terms of furnishings and in terms of the screen design and graphical user interface tools incorporated in the applications software. Comply. The LSS-R is designed to meet most ergonomic standards through their physical characteristics, furnishings and user interfaces. The workstations are 67x 26 x30 (Height by Width by Depth respectively) and will readily fit through a standard 28 door. It can be used by over 90% of the adult population for booking operations within a jail environment. The workstation is illustrated in Figure 5-17 below. Figure 5-17. Printrak LiveScan Station Ruggedized 00-0603-09 5-40 State of Nebraska The intuitive graphical user interface clearly guides the operator through the acquisition of all required data including transaction ID, descriptors, fingerprints, palmprints, photos, etc. (Figure 5-18 below). Clear and immediate instruction and feedback are provided during the process including fingerprint and palmprint sequence check (correct order), image quality check, and descriptor data entry validation. Because most data entry operations can be accomplished using the touchscreen interface and scanning operations are controlled via the two foot pedals provided the operator is able to use both hands to control and facilitate the subject during the capture process. Figure 5-18. Print Capture Touch Screen. GUI to guide the operator through the fingerprint and palmprint capture process. The LSS is Windows-based and thereby includes a Windows GUI to access functionality provided in the workstation.

Support for automated processing and automated correction features which eliminate the need for manual quality review of nonlatent prints (fingerprints or palmprints). Comply. Real time fingerprint quality checking is provided through the Data Processing Services (DPS). This service provides users with assurances that the fingerprint image(s) (i.e., slap four fingerprint images, rolled images and flat images) are the correct image, are the image intended, and are of sufficient quality to permit further processing This software was developed to provide user-friendly AFIS operation. The goal was to minimize any operator decisions regarding print quality, if those decisions could be made by software instead. The system performs the following fingerprint quality checks: Minimum Number of Minutiae. If the software does not detect a sufficient number of minutiae to support potential AFIS search processing, the operator is prompted with the suggested corrective action (including rescanning the print or flat to roll substitution). Good Quality Images. If the software does not detect any image quality problems, the image will be accepted. If for any reason the software detects a possible problem the operator is prompted with the possible corrective action (including rescanning request or flat to roll substitution). 00-0603-09 5-49 State of Nebraska Slap to Roll. The Slap to Roll sequencing check is used to compare the sequencing of the tenprint rolled images against the four-finger slap images and the flat thumbs. A warning message is presented to the operator if a fingerprint fails the sequencing check. The operator may then select the finger in question and request rescanning. Light/Dark Images. The software confirms that the general image brightness is well adjusted. In the case of the image or any portion of the image being too dark or too light the software highlights this fact, generates the appropriate message, and suggests that the finger should be rescanned. Smudged Images. The software checks for images that contain smudged areas, and detects whether the fingerprint was shifted or rotated during the rolling. When such movements are detected, a message is generated that identifies the problem (e.g., a smudged image) and requests that the fingerprint be rescanned Flat or Rolled Image. The software checks to determine if a rolled image was really rolled or if the image is only a flat impression, based upon the following criteria: ?? A rolled impression will, in most instances, have a greater width than the flat impression included in the slaps ?? The number of minutiae present is different when flat impressions are compared with rolled fingerprint impressions In all situations, the operator has override capabilities. If the operator issues an override command, this action is recorded in the Audit Trail and included in the appropriate Management Report. 5.2.1.2.7. Compression of images at the workstation livescan, prior to transfer to NAFIS, allowing for a more efficient use of the NAFIS network. Compression will use an FBI-certified algorithm. Comply.
