Abstract
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Database 302 contains 10,000 latent impression distal phalanx images. This collection of data came from the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity's Nail to Nail Fingerprint Challenge. NIST worked with Certified Latent Print Examiners to annotate these images with features (e.g., minutiae, orientation, ridge quality maps) and determine their ground truth finger positions. The fully-annotated collection of data is made freely available for research purposes.Citation
