FVC2004: Third Fingerprint Verification Competition

A new technology evaluation of fingerprint verification algorithms has been organized following the approach of the previous FVC2000 and FVC2002 evaluations, with the aim of tracking the quickly evolving state-ofthe -art of fingerprint recognition systems. Three sensors have been used for data collection, including a solid state sweeping sensor, and two optical sensors of different characteristics. The competition included a new category dedicated to "light" systems, characterized by limited computational and storage resources

Fvc2000: Fingerprint verification competition

In the last decade, interest in fingerprint-based biometric systems has grown significantly [1]. Activity on this topic increased in both academia and industry as several research groups and companies developed new algorithms and techniques for fingerprint recognition and as many new electronic fingerprint acquisition sensors were launched into the marketplace
