Fingerprint and On-Line Signature Verification Competitions at ICB 2009

This paper describes the objectives, the tasks proposed to the participants and the associated protocols in terms of database and assessment tools of two present competitions on fingerprints and on-line signatures, the results of which will be ready for presentation at the next ICB conference. The particularity of the fingerprint competition is to be an on-line competition, for evaluation of fingerprint verification tools such as minutiae extractors and matchers as well as complete systems. The on-line signature competition will test the influence of multi-session, environmental conditions (still and mobility) and signature complexity on the performance of complete systems using two datasets extracted from the BioSecure database.
