Neurotechnology has released an updated version of its MegaMatcher Criminal Investigation platform, introducing enhancements designed to improve forensic workflows and identification accuracy for law enforcement professionals.
The 2025.1 release includes new automatic enhancement filters that clarify ridge patterns in latent prints, including those collected from textured or complex surfaces. The update also allows investigators to initiate searches across unsolved latent prints when no match is found among known prints—enabling potential links between unresolved cases. A new annotation feature lets examiners attach comments directly to latent prints to support documentation and collaboration.
“We’re constantly evolving our technologies to meet the challenges faced by forensic professionals in real investigations,” said Denis Kačan, head of product at Neurotechnology. “With improved latent print recognition, more complete match results and case linking capabilities, this release delivers the tools experts need to handle difficult cases with greater speed, confidence and clarity.”
MegaMatcher Criminal Investigation integrates with MegaMatcher ABIS, the company’s broader biometric identification system, and uses the latest version of Neurotechnology’s latent print recognition algorithm. That algorithm ranks among the top performers in the NIST Enhanced Latent Fingerprint Technologies (ELFT) evaluation and is particularly effective in matching poor-quality or partial latent prints.
Neurotechnology also offers tools for identity management, surveillance, and video analytics through its SentiVeillance product line. The company previously upgraded SentiVeillance with advanced face detection and object recognition capabilities for use in law enforcement and security applications.
Based in Vilnius, Lithuania, Neurotechnology was founded in 1990 and has developed biometric solutions used in more than 140 countries, including national ID and voter registration projects in India, Ghana, Liberia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
