Printrak Latent Station:
Complete Solution for Centralized Latent Print Processing

With Printrak Latent Station, examiners enjoy a focused environment to capture, encode and submit latent fingerprints and palmprints.  This full featured solution offers image enhancement tools that facilitate editing and charting of latent prints, search and review, on-screen print rotation, image reversal, and contrast and brightness adjustments to simplify visual verification of latent search results.  Access to a latent case database supports storage, reporting and tracking of all latent records from a crime scene.

Advantages:

• Capture, auto-encode, and submit latent images at 500 or 1,000 ppi from one central location in a focused environment
• Obtain and store images directly from evidence or a variety of other sources including a high resolution digital camera, scanner, and industry standard digital image formats
• Store up to 1,000 images per case with no limit on the size or quality of the images
• Enhance latent images with three-dimensional encoding tools while tracking all modifications

Features:

• Perform 1:1 and 1:N searches of both tenprint and palmprint files with upper, lower, and writer’s palmprint processing functionality
• Supports imported JPEG, JPEG 2000, Bitmap, NIST, WSQ, and TIFF files
• Automated encoding reduces the amount of time required to process each latent
• Includes enhancement features such as brightness, contrast, invert, reverse, and histogram as well as additional features such as Gabor filtering and pattern removal
• Tracks and displays each step of the enhancement process
• View thinned images, auto minutiae, and manual minutiae
• Interface to Printrak BIS as well as foreign systems for search
• Excellent image viewing capabilities with continuous zoom
• Latent EXPERT (auto capture of non-minutiae features instead of auto minutiae capture) matching allows for more accurate results
• Identify and label critical similarities between prints using the charting tool
• Easily track cases through the system, perform quality checks, and verify search results
