Image Analysis and Biometrics @ IIIT-Delhi

MOLF database has 19,200 fingerprints collected using from 100 subjects using five different capture methods: (i) Lumidigm Venus IP65 Shell, (ii) Secugen Hamster-IV, (iii) CrossMatch L-Scan Patrol, (iv) Latent fingerprints, and (v) simultaneous latent fingerprints lifted using black powder dusting process.

The IIIT-D Simultaneous Latent Fingerprint(SLF) Database consists of simultaneous latent fingerpirnt of 15 subject along with their mated 500ppi optical slap fingerprints. Simultaneous latent fingerprint are obtained using black powder dusting technique with a plain tile as background. Optical fingerprints are captured using Crossmatch LScan Patrol.

The database can be downloaded from the following link.

The IIIT-D latent fingerprint database is an exclusive database consisting of only latent fingerprint impressions of all 10 fingers of 15 subjects. Multiple instances are captured for every fingerprint, enabling latent to latent fingerprint comparison. The latent fingerprints are lifted from two different backgrounds - card and tile- trying to simulate different environments from which they are lifted. Also, the dryness of the skin friction ridge is varied to obtain multiple impressions of varying quality and information. There are in total 1046 latent fingerprints. Mated 500ppi and 1000ppi fingerprint sensor images are available. The 500ppi are slap images captured using Crossmatch L1scan. The 1000ppi images are captured using SecuGen Hamster IV. This database is made public to facilitate researchers to publish results over a common database.
