Databases
Four different databases (DB1, DB2, DB3 and DB4) were collected by using the following sensors/technologies:
- DB1: optical sensor "TouchView II" by Identix
- DB2: optical sensor "FX2000" by Biometrika
- DB3: capacitive sensor "100 SC" by Precise Biometrics
- DB4: synthetic fingerprint generation
Each database is 110 fingers wide (w) and 8 impressions per finger deep (d) (880 fingerprints in all); fingers from 101 to 110 (set B) have been made available to the participants to allow parameter tuning before the submission of the algorithms; the benchmark is then constituted by fingers numbered from 1 to 100 (set A).
