Although fingerprint mark-up and identification are well-studied fields, forensic fingerprint image preprocessing is still a relatively new domain in need of further scientific study and development of guidance of best practice. Latent fingerprint image
This report documents performance of one-to-many face identification algorithms, and compares it with that in 2010. Performance in this context refers recognition accuracy and computational resource usage as measured by executing those algorithms on

This paper identifies important factors for face recognition algorithm performance in video. The goal of this study is to understand key factors that affect algorithm performance and to characterize the algorithm performance. We evaluate four factor

The term "lights-out" for AFIS ten-print fingerprint operations has been around for many years and is generally understood to mean "no human intervention is involved." But is this appropriate for AFIS latent print operations? Is it truly possible to

Although fingerprint recognition is a well-studied area, forensic fingerprint preprocessing based on computational theory is still a relatively new domain in need of further scientific study and development of standards of best practice. Latent fingerprint

The Computer Security Division (CSD) of NIST/ITL develops conformance test architectures (CTAs) and test suites (CTSs) to support users that require conformance to selected biometric standards. Product developers as well as testing laboratories can also
This article describes the ANSI/NIST-ITL standard: its origin, contents, and how it is used and updated. It is the principal standard used for the formatting and encoding of biometric data and related textual information for law enforcement, homeland
In December, 2008, the FBI provided MITRE with an extract of submissions of deceased persons. The submissions contain face images of subjects with multiple encounters over time. The type 10 records (face and SMT) are mostly frontal or near frontal face
Cell phones and other handheld devices incorporating cell phone capabilities (e.g., smart phones) are ubiquitous. Besides placing calls, cell phones allow users to perform other tasks such as text messaging and phonebook entry management. When cell phones
