Description

Contains fingerprint images (.bmp files) from 200 data subjects, acquired using two different fingerprint scanners:

  1. OYSTER III from NEXT Biometrics (thermal sensor).
  2. CSD101i from Thales (optical sensor).

During the recording, the data subjects were seated in the driver's seat of a vehicle, with the fingerprint scanners positioned to the right of the steering wheel.  

The fingerprint images were acquired in the following two scenarios:

(1) Indoors: The car was parked inside a garage, with controlled (artificial) lighting.
(2) Outdoors: The car was parked outside, with uncontrolled (natural) lighting.

In both scenarios, the following types of fingerprint images were captured to incorporate different variabilities into the recorded fingerprint data, using each of the two fingerprint scanners in turn:

  • Normal: Fingerprint was captured as is (4 images).
  • Dry: Finger was dried using hand disinfectant and a paper towel (2 images).
  • Moist: Finger was moistened by rubbing it on the nose or forehead (2 images).
  • Hot: Finger was heated by placing it on a hot-water bottle (2 images).
  • Cold: Finger was cooled by placing it on an ice block (2 images).


So in total, this dataset consists of 48 fingerprint images per data subject, for the majority of data subjects.  For a few data subjects, it was not possible to acquire fingerprint images in some scenarios, so in those cases the number of fingerprint images is less than 48.  Taking this point into consideration, the dataset consists of a total of 9,521 fingerprint images across all 200 data subjects.
