BIO-key ranks first in all North American based companies in overall combined average of mean and median scores of all MINEX compliant algorithms tested as of January 2007.        

As highlighted in yellow in the chart above, using the values reported by NIST for the results of template extraction and for template matching across all compliant vendors, BIO-key ranks highest in the average of these key parameters. When choosing an authentication system, don't forget that the combination of a system's extraction and matching performance is extremely critical for overall performance.
