How do we best implement duplicate detection?
Duplicate detection can be implemented as a simple identification query over database of already registered users. If you do duplicate detection with high t...

Is there any way to create a generalized template from multiple fingerprint images?
There is no way to blend multiple templates. The recommended way to go about this is to register multiple views of the same fingerprint under one user ID. I...

I am getting low score and high error rate for children's fingerprints
It would be helpful if you could send us sample fingerprints. This could lead to long-term improvements in our algorithm which would improve reliability of ...

Is it possible to match bitonal (black and white) images? I am observing poor accuracy with bitonal images
Bitonal (black and white, no gray) images should be matched correctly. It is possible that there is some drop in accuracy due to the loss of information in ...

On the minutiae image, which color denotes endings and which color represents bifurcations?
Minutiae points marked by red rectangle are the endings. Blue rectangles represent bifurcations. Nevertheless, this classification is informative. It is not...

Does presence of images improve accuracy?
Matching is performed using templates only. Images can be stored in the database for informative purposes or for compatibility reasons, but they are not use...

How is it that the consolidated score is not equal to maximum score and it is entirely unrelated to average score?
Score for whole user record (consolidated score) is the maximum score for individual fingerprint pairs minus some constant correction. This constant depends...

Bad placement of fingerprint on scanner surface
It can be avoided by: Operator training (operator should instruct the enrolled person how to properly put the finger on the scanner) A warning could ...
