An evaluation of fingerprint quality across an elderly population vis-à-vis 18--25 year olds
Nathan C. Sickler · Annual Information Security Symposium · 2003
This study evaluated the effectiveness quality of fingerprint images obtained from two populations interacting with two commercially available fingerprint recognition sensors (one capacitance, one optical). Currently, there is a lack of information within the biometric community pertaining to fingerprint image quality and an elderly population. Therefore, this study specifically examined the fingerprint image quality of an elderly population (55+) to that of an 18-25 year old population baseline.
