NIST Special Database 14. NIST Mated Fingerprint Card pairs 2 (MFCP2)

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Craig I. Watson
NIST Special Database 14 is being distributed for use in development and testing of automated fingerprint classification and matchingsystems on a set of images which approximate a natural horizontal distribution of the National Crime Information Center

NIST Special Database 18. NIST Mugshot Identification Database (MID)

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Craig I. Watson
NIST Special Database 18 is being distributed for use in development and testing of automated mugshot identification systems. The database consists of three CD-ROMs, containing a total of 3248 images of variable size using lossless compression. Each CD-ROM

MINEX II Performance of Fingerprint Match-on-Card Algorithms - Phase II Report

February 29, 2008
Author(s)
Patrick J. Grother, Wayne J. Salamon, Michael D. Indovina, Craig I. Watson
The MINEX II trial was conducted to evaluate the accuracy and speed of Match-on-Card verification algorithms. These run on ISO/IEC 7816 smart cards. They compare conformant reference and verification instances of the ISO/IEC 19794-2 COMPACT CARD

Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) for the Evaluation of Latent Fingerprint Technologies (ELFT)

June 12, 2007
Author(s)
Vladimir N. Dvornychenko, Brian J. Cochran, Patrick J. Grother, Michael D. Indovina, Craig I. Watson
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting a series of tests for evaluating the state of the art in Automated Latent Fingerprint matching. The intent of the testing is to quantify the core algorithmic capability of contemporary

Correlation Filters for Elastic-Distorted Live-Scan Fingerprint Recognition

August 15, 2006
Author(s)
D P. Casasent, Craig I. Watson
This is a summary of a multi-year study of the use of distortion-invariant filters for recognition of live-scan dab fingerprints with elastic distortions. These fingerprints are characterized by elastic distortions. NIST special database 24 is used; it

MINEX Performance and Interoperability of the INCITS 378 Fingerprint Template

March 2, 2006
Author(s)
Patrick Grother, R. McCabe, Craig I. Watson, Michael D. Indovina, Wayne J. Salamon, Patricia A. Flanagan, Elham Tabassi, Elaine M. Newton, Charles L. Wilson
While the interchange of fingerprint image data provides the greatest interoperability between dissimilar fingerprint recognition systems, standards exist that specify the location and formatting of processed minutiae locations data, or templates. Minutiae

Two Finger Matching with Vendor SDK Matchers

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Craig I. Watson, Charles L. Wilson, Michael D. Indovina, Brian J. Cochran
This report is an extension of the NIST Studies of one-to-one Fingerprint Matching with Vendor SDK Matchers which evaluated the accuracy of SDK (Software Development Kit) based on COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) fingerprint matching systems for one-to-one

Slap Fingerprint Segmentation Evaluation 2004 Analysis Report

March 1, 2005
Author(s)
Brad Ulery, R. A. Hicklin, Craig I. Watson, Michael D. Indovina, Kayee Hanaoka
The Slap Fingerprint Segmentation Evaluation 2004 (Slap Seg04) was conducted to assess the accuracy of algorithms used to segment slap fingerprint images into individual fingerprint images. Segmenters from ten different organizations were evaluated on data
