FOE@BTAS12
FOE@BTAS12 is a
fingerprint orientation extraction competition based on the FVC-onGoing
FOE benchmark area, organized in conjunction with the
IEEE Fifth International Conference on Biometrics: Theory, Applications and Systems (BTAS 2012).
Motivation
Reliable orientation extraction in low-quality fingerprint regions is an important and very challenging problem,
since it is a fundamental prerequisite for a good fingerprint image enhancement.
New approaches are often proposed in the literature, but often these algorithms are not systematically and quantitatively
evaluated, due to the lack of a fingerprint dataset with associated ground truth information for the local orientations.
Benchmark
FOE@BTAS12 is based on the following benchmark:
|
FOE-STD-1.0 |
Fingerprint orientation extraction benchmark on fingerprints acquired using optical scanners;
the ground-truth has been manually marked using an ad-hoc software tool.

How to participate
All algorithms evaluated under the above benchmark before the deadline specified below, will be included in FOE@BTAS12.
Submission and evaluation of the algorithms follow the standard FVC-onGoing rules (see Sumbission and Publication policy).
Note that, in order to be included in FOE@BTAS12,
evaluation results must be published by the participants before the deadline.
Deadline (expired)
Algorithms' results must be published on the FVC-onGoing website within April
15th, 2012.
