MorphoBIS is Morpho’s next generation biometric identification system and the product of Morpho’s extensive investment in R&D. NYPD’s new system handles ten-print and latent matching, including lights–out processing with unrivalled speed and accuracy, matching of palm prints and mobile two-finger searches.
