About EFS Training Tool

The EFS Training Tool was developed by Noblis under funding from the FBI Biometric Center of Excellence and NIST Forensic Science.

All data used in the tool originated in NIST's SD27 or the Multi-Latent Dataset (MLDS), a Noblis set of laboratory-collected latent images. Feature markup was performed and verified by expert fingerprint examiners.

The EFS Training Tool may be used without restriction as long as the code and this disclaimer remain intact and unmodified.

Please address questions and comments for the Training Tool team to EFSTT@noblis.org.
