In this context, we have issued the EST Challenge . If accuracy of search is an important criteria in your system development process, contact us. You'll be interested in testing and comparing performance against competitors. It is the same algorithmic suite incorporated into systems integrated and sold by East Shore in our turnkey system packages. Even prints of poorer quality, if they contain sufficient hyperladder match criteria, are identified.
Ridges often show discontinuities and vary greatly in contrast.
Scars and creases may exist or disappear, depending on when the print is taken, and of course, fingers can be dirty. East Shore's image processing is designed to be maximally robust to these problems. Robust to finger placement Finger placement in the center of a finger scanner platen is not critical using our software. Capture of finger image data by camera from paper copy does not require the centering of the finger image under the camera. No core or other reference point within the fingerprint is necessary.
