Anviz Patents BioNano Algorithm
Tampa, Florida- July 1st, 2008- Anviz has invented a piece of core technology that could prove
decidedly crucial as the company attempts to delve deeper into developing markets. The
BioNano technology has two main advantages that are particularly valuable and innovative.
Firstly, the algorithm maps-out an individual’s fingerprints, even if the print is incomplete. This
has wide implications because it is able to project a person’s unique fingerprints based on the
incomplete evidence it has available to it. It allows for accurate identification of individuals with
an imperfect set of fingerprints. Therefore, in an environment where workers may have rough or
scarred hands the BioNano technology is extremely useful.
Secondly, the BioNano Algorithm can update fingerprint templates automatically. Every time a
subject uses their finger to register on the device the algorithm stores the image. If the newest
fingerprint template is better (a more complete picture) than the previous one that was saved in
the device, the machine will automatically update the template inside the device. This ensures
that the fingerprint template saved inside the device is always the best one.
The BioNano algorithm is a unique creation produced by Anviz engineers. It is a competitive
advantage that the company holds with respect to the competition. “We believe that this is going
to be a very useful feature to have in security and time attendance devices in the developing
world. In numerous regions, many employees have imperfect or incomplete fingerprints. The
BioNano algorithm helps ease this identification constraint.”, says Will Liu, customer relations
specialist, East Asia region.
