What is MINEX and MINEX II?
MINEX is an interoperability test by NIST; the American National Institute of Standards and Technology. MINEX stands for Minutiae Interoperability Exchange Test.
Ongoing MINEX is an ongoing evaluation of the INCITS 378 fingerprint template, which is established to make it possible to measure performance and interoperability of fingerprint templates and to establish compliance for fingerprint technology for the US Government’s PIV (Personal Identity Verification) program.
MINEX II is an interoperability feasibility study dedicated to evaluate fingerprint minutia matchers running on ISO/IEC 7816 smart cards.
