This paper examines the Green-Yellow-Red-Orange (GYRO) system for minimum requirements created by the Scientific Working Group on Friction Ridge Analysis, Study and Technology (SWGFAST) for documentation in fingerprint casework.
Abstract
The GYRO documentation system offers a simple and efficient method for a friction ridge examiner to document the analysis and comparison states of the ACE-V process. GYRO uses a color-coding system to convey the analyst's degree of confidence in the existence of a feature and the degree of variation to which that feature may appear in a corresponding exemplar print. The authors also explore the benefits and utility of the PiAnoS software, which bears some similarity to GYRO, but with added tools. (Published Abstract)
