Griaule's fingerprint recognition algorithm was successfully tested among the world's best fingerprint recognition systems, on a test held by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2003.
The Griaule fingerprint recognition algorithms (P066) get the first position of the average ERR in FVC 2006. The FVC (Fingerprint Verification Competition) is the world’s largest competition for fingerprint verification algorithms.
