Sensitivity and Specificity Analysis of Fingerprints Based Algorithm

Abstract

Recently, sensitivity and specificity of biometric based algorithms have gained too much attentions of researchers because of frequently reported fraud cases to defense related organizations. A similar study is presented in this paper to depict the different aspects of a biometric system so that its features such as sensitivity., specificity., precision and accuracy may be figure out well before its installation. In this regard., fingerprints based biometric system is considered; where fingerprints are first enhanced to remove the unwanted contents from them using Gabor filter. So that feature extraction may be accomplished. However., for matching of fingerprints support vector machine has been employed. Experiments are performed with FVC2000 and FVC2002 fingerprints databases and improved results have been found.
