Interoperability and the Stability Score Index

INTEROPERABILITY AND THE

STABILITY SCORE INDEXZach Moore, Stephen Elliott, Kevin O’Connor, Shimon Modi

INTRODUCTION

•Wanted to look at interoperability of fingerprint

images across sensors in the context of

stability

•Quality changes across sensors, but does this

affect stability?

INTRODUCTION

• Shimon, 2008

• Analyzed interoperability of fingerprint sensors

• How this affected system performance

• Minutiae based matching

• O’Connor, 2013

• Looked at the instability of the zoo animals across different force levels

• Created the stability score index (SSI)

RELATED WORK

STABILITY SCORE INDEX

METHODOLOGY

• Cleaned the data

• Only used subjects who had three enrollment captures and three testing captures on all sensors

• Created dataruns

• Ran the data through Megamatcher to get genuine and impostor scores

• Ran the scores through Oxford Wave to get zoo analysis

• Used the zoo analysis to calculate stability scores

METHODOLOGY

•Divided datasets

KRUSKAL-WALLIS RESULTS

•All p-values resulted in p=0

•Reject H0

• Meaning the medians of the SSIs across the

sensors are significantly different

KRUSKAL-WALLIS RESULTS

CONCLUSION

• Subjects are not stable across different sensors

using SSI

• Enrolling on Authentec produced the worst SSIs

overall, but testing on it did not show the same

pattern

• Predicting how unstable a user will be from

enrollment to testing would increase performance

CONCLUSION

•Look at stability across force levels

•See if type of sensor plays a role (thermal,

swipe, touch, etc.)

•Analyze the image quality of the images and

look for a relationship
