"Biometric Systems are automated methods of verifying or
recognizing the identity of a living person
on the basis of some physiological characteristics, like a fingerprint or iris
pattern, or some aspects
of behavior, like handwriting or keystroke patterns"
The Biometric System Laboratory is active at the University of Bologna since 1993
and is supported by DISI
(Department of Computer Science and Engineering)
and Computer Science and Engineering degree
program (Cesena).
The main research efforts are devoted to fingerprint and face recognition and
to performance evaluation of biometric systems.
Collaborations with industrial partners ensure that the research activities are
linked to real applications.

Highlights
 | | Handbook of Fingerprint Recognition (Third Edition) D. Maltoni, D. Maio, A. K. Jain, J. Feng | | | |  | | MCC SDK v2.0 is now freely available for research purposes MCC SDK is a .Net DLL library that enables to develop fingerprint verification applications using the Minutia Cylinder-Code (MCC) algorithm. | | | |  | | SFinGe: The Synthetic Fingerprint Generator The demo version of SFinGe v5.0 can be freely downloaded. | | | |  | | Minutia Cylinder-Code (MCC) A new representation and matching technique for fingerprint recognition was developed and patented: Minutia Cylinder-Code (MCC). The new method is extremely fast and very accurate: it can be implemented even on very light architectures and can perform about 7 million comparisons per second on a low-cost PC. | | | |  | | FVC-onGoing: On-Line Evaluation of Fingerprint Recognition Algorithms FVC-onGoing is the latest evolution of FVC: the international Fingerprint Verification Competitions organized in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.
FVC-onGoing is an innovative web-based automated evaluation system for fingerprint recognition algorithms.
Tests are carried out on a set of sequestered datasets and results are reported on-line by using well known performance indicators and metrics.
Academic Research Groups, Companies and independent developers are kindly invited to register and submit algorithms to FVC-onGoing. | | | |  | | iMARS web site We are delighted to announce that the public website of the iMARS European project is now live. | | | |  | | Scanner Quality BioLab introduced a new operational definition of fingerprint scanner quality. | | | |  | | Quaderni CNIPA sulla Biometria (Italian language) Materiale introduttivo sui Sistemi Biometrici e il loro impiego nella Pubblica Amministrazione, alla cui redazione hanno partecipato membri del laboratorio:
