Evaluating the Impact of Contactless Fingerprint Imagery Spatial Loss on Matcher Performance

September 23, 2021
Author(s)
Shahram Orandi, John M. Libert, Bruce Bandini, Kenneth Ko, John Grantham, Brian J. Cochran, Craig I. Watson
Observations in previous studies have shown that contactless capture devices may be prone to capturing superfluous data (e.g., fingernail or finger background), distortion and imaging artifacts especially around the periphery of the captured fingerprint

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

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
