Contactless Fingerprint Capture and Data Interchange Best Practice Recommendation Revision 1

August 5, 2024
Author(s)
Shahram Orandi, Craig I. Watson, Jennifer Stathakis, John M. Libert, Gregory Fiumara, John Grantham
While contactless fingerprint capture devices stand to provide for many benefits, images from this nascent technology are sufficiently different than traditional contact-collected images thereby warranting the separation of these new contactless

FIPS 201 establishes a standard for a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) system (Standard) that meets the control and security objectives of Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12). It is based on secure and reliable forms of identity

NIST Special Database 302: Supplemental Release of Latent Annotations

November 2, 2021
Author(s)
Gregory Fiumara, Matthew Schwarz, Jessica Heising, Jennifer Peterson, Patricia A. Flanagan, Karen Marshall
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a collection of latent fingerprint images as part of Special Database (SD) 302 in December 2019. While the dataset included 10 000 never-before-seen operational quality images from 200

NIST Fingerprint Image Quality 2

December 11, 2019
Author(s)
Gregory P. Fiumara, Patricia A. Flanagan, John D. Grantham, Kenneth Ko, Karen Marshall, Matthew Schwarz, Elham Tabassi, Bryan Woodgate, Christopher Boehnen
In September 2017, the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) held a data collection as part of its Nail to Nail (N2N) Fingerprint Challenge. Participating Challengers deployed devices designed to collect an image of the full nail to nail

Nail to Nail Fingerprint Challenge: Enrollment Set Size Variability

June 24, 2019
Author(s)
Gregory P. Fiumara, Kenneth Ko, Elham Tabassi, Patricia A. Flanagan, John D. Grantham, Karen Marshall, Matthew Schwarz, Bryan Woodgate
In September 2017, the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity held a fingerprint data collection as part of the Nail to Nail Fingerprint Challenge. Thousands of latent fingerprint images collected at the Challenge were searched against rolled

NIST Special Database 301: Nail to Nail Fingerprint Challenge Dry Run

July 11, 2018
Author(s)
Gregory P. Fiumara, Patricia A. Flanagan, Matthew Schwarz, Elham Tabassi, Christopher Boehnen
In April 2017, the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) held a dry run for the data collection portion of its Nail to Nail (N2N) Fingerprint Challenge. This data collection event was designed to ensure that the real data collection

Towards Repeatable, Reproducible, and Efficient Biometric Technology Evaluations

August 18, 2015
Author(s)
Gregory P. Fiumara, Wayne J. Salamon, Craig I. Watson
With the proliferation of biometric-based identity management solutions, biometric algorithms need to be tested now more than ever. Independent biometric technology evaluations are needed to perform this testing, but are not trivial to run, as demonstrated

Fingerprint Vendor Technology Evaluation

January 8, 2015
Author(s)
Craig I. Watson, Gregory P. Fiumara, Elham Tabassi, Su L. Cheng, Patricia A. Flanagan, Wayne J. Salamon
FpVTE was conducted primarily to assess the current capabilities of fingerprint matching algorithms using operational datasets containing several million subjects. There were three classes of participation that examined various finger combinations from

Performance evaluation of fingerprint open-set identification algorithms

September 22, 2014
Author(s)
Elham Tabassi, Craig I. Watson, Gregory P. Fiumara
We report performance of one-to-many fingerprint identification algorithms using one, two, four, eight or ten fingers for recognition. Performance is quantified in terms of recognition accuracy (false positive and false negative identification rate)
