NIST Helps Fingerprint Examiners with New Data and Software Release
NIST’s fingerprint dataset SD 302 includes 10,000 fingerprint images, including this one from the sticky side of a postage stamp. The dataset is now completely annotated with details such as the colorized regions at right. The colors, which represent regions of differing quality, will help train both humans and machine learning algorithms how to distinguish identifying features and weigh…
