The AFIS ________ determines the degree of ________ between the location and relationship of the minutiae between the questioned fingerprint and those in the database.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The AFIS uses a search algorithm to determine the degree of correlation between the location and relationship of the minutiae (unique ridge characteristics) between the questioned fingerprint and those in the database. Therefore, the most fitting choice is D. Choice A is too general and could apply to any identification system. Choice B mentions software configurations, which is not directly related to the comparison process of the fingerprints. Choice C is partially accurate as the comparison involves the relative position and orientation of the minutiae, but it does not capture the concept of degree of similarity or correlation. Finally, choice E is not related to the comparison process either, but rather to the context in which AFIS may be used.
