Experiment and Analysis Services in a Fingerprint Digital Library for Collaborative Research

Abstract

Fingerprint management systems support millions of images and complicated but imperfect image identification algorithms. The forensic community requires a set of digital library services to support large image collections, execute identification algorithms, and analyze experiments that test identification algorithms in development. We present a model and prototype system capable of testing and analyzing fingerprinting algorithms in terms of identification performance based on matches of a known image to partial images, distortions of the images, and sub-regions of the images. These services are provided based on our framework for composing a set of services and a fingerprint image collection. The prototype will be useful in collaborations connecting several algorithm development efforts, and in composing an experimentation workflow. We also describe extensions of these services into other domains.
