The first fingerprint verification competition (FVC2000) was a good start in establishing proper evaluation protocols needed due to the increase in the number of commercial systems for fingerprint-based recognition.

• Biometrika's FX2000 was one of the devices selected for the database, both, in FVC2000 as well as in FVC2002, the Second International Competition for Fingerprint Verification Algorithms.
  
  
• Further, Biometrika's FX2000 scanner has been rated as the No.1 device in a comparison of 24 different commercial scanners available in the world on all the decisive technological parameters.

Please refer to the Handbook of Fingerprint Recognition by D. Maltoni, D. Maio, A.K. Jain, S.
