UIDAI Researchers Develop Bharat ABIS for Large-Scale Biometric Deduplication
Researchers associated with India's UIDAI have developed Bharat ABIS, an open-source Automated Biometric Identification System that combines fingerprint, iris, and facial data to detect duplicate identity records in large databases. Tested on 220 million Aadhaar records, the system aims to improve speed and accuracy in biometric deduplication, addressing issues like the 600,000 duplicate Aadhaar cards identified by the government. The technology integrates multiple biometric modalities to enhance identification while controlling false matches.
