The Fingerprint Verification Competition (FVC) is an international competition focused on fingerprint verification software assessment. A subset of fingerprint impressions acquired with various sensors was provided to registered participants, to allow them to adjust the parameters of their algorithms. Participants were requested to provide enroll and match executable files of their algorithms; the evaluation was conducted at the organizers’ facilities using the submitted executable files on a sequestered database, acquired with the same sensors as the training set. The organizers of FVC are: * (Biometric System Laboratory (University of Bologna) ) * (Pattern Recognition and Image Processing Laboratory (Michigan State University) ) * (Biometric Test Center (San Jose State University) ) * (Biometric Recognition Group - ATVS (Universidad Autonoma de Madrid) ) Each participant can submit up to one algorithm to the open and light categories. The first, second and third international competitions on fingerprint verification (FVC2000, FVC2002 and FVC2004) were organized in 2000, 2002 and 2004, respectively. These events received great attention both from academic and industrial biometric communities. They established a common benchmark, allowing developers to unambiguously compare their algorithms, and provided an overview of the state-of-the-art in fingerprint recognition. Based on the response of the biometrics community, FVC2000, FVC2002 and FVC2004 were undoubtedly successful initiatives. The interest shown in previous editions by the biometrics research community has prompted the organizers to schedule a new competition for the year 2006. In 2006 there were: * Four new databases (three real and one synthetic) * Two categories (open and light) * 53 participants (27 industrial, 13 academic, and 13 independent developers) * 70 algorithms submitted (44 in the open category and 26 in the light category) == Aim == * Continuous advances in the field of biometric systems and, in particular, in fingerprint-based systems (both in matching techniques and sensing devices) require that performance evaluation of biometric systems be carried out at regular intervals. * The aim of FVC2006 is to track recent advances in fingerprint verification, for both academia and industry, and to benchmark the state-of-the-art in fingerprint technology. * Further testing, on interoperability and quality related issues, will be performed in a second stage, after the competition is completed. * This competition should not be viewed as an "official" performance certification of biometric systems, since only parts of the system software will be evaluated by using images from sensors not native to each system. Nonetheless, the results of this competition will give a useful overview of the state-of-the-art in this field and will provide guidance to the participants for improving their algorithms. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fingerprint Verification Competition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
