1. A method to repair cross-linked biometric records to at least reduce a number of incorrect fields associated with a person, the person capable of having multiple records, comprising:
receiving electronically, at at least one processor, a set of biometric records, each biometric record in the set of biometric records associated with at least one person, each biometric record containing a plurality of biometric samples stored in respective fields, each of the plurality of biometric samples being in one of a plurality of modalities, at least one biometric sample of the plurality of biometric samples being in a non-textual modality, one or more of the biometric records in the set of biometric records being a cross-linked biometric record having at least two biometric samples that are incorrectly associated with different individuals;
automatically performing, at the at least one processor, cross-link resolution on the set of biometric records to reduce a number of incorrect biometric samples contained in record fields by searching for a match between a biometric sample, stored in a field of a first record, and a corresponding field in each of the other biometric records in the set of biometric records and, based on a matching threshold, declaring whether a match exists;
automatically performing, at the at least one processor, and based on a number of matches, an action to reduce the number of incorrect fields, the action including removing one of the matching biometric samples from one of the first biometric record and a second biometric record, and adding the removed biometric sample to the other of the first and second biometric record; and
outputting and storing at least one repaired biometric record.
