Abstract
At present, there are many competing fingerprint sensors available. Thus, fingerprint sensor benchmarking is necessary but unfortunately no proper methodology is available. This paper attempts to address this deficiency by proposing a new methodology to benchmark the fingerprint sensors. The methodology consists of three metrics and the associated procedures to collect the data in order to compute the proposed metrics. Two small scale experiments are conducted to show the validity and efficacy of the proposed method. These include comparison of the image acquisition performance among various sensors with different skin type and under different weather condition. The effect of number of usage with acquisition performance is also analyzed. Analysis of the results shows that the proposed method does provide a basic sensor benchmarking capability.
