SFinGe can be used to create large databases of fingerprints, thus allowing recognition algorithms to be simply tested and optimized. Fingerprints generated by SFinGe are extremely realistic: in FVC2002, one of the four databases used (DB4) was synthetically generated and the participant algorithms performed on DB4 similarly to the other DBs. This proves that the main inter-class and intra-class variations of fingerprints in nature are very well captured by SFinGe
