README: 2D and 3D Fingerprint Dataset

https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.612jm649q

This database consists of 3D fingerprints (2D equivalent ones) collected from 150 subjects (volunteers), so there are in total 150 subfolders.

Description of the data and file structure

For 3D Database:

1. This database consists of 3D fingerprints (2D equivalent ones) collected from 150 subjects (volunteers), so there are in total 150 subfolders.

2. The naming for the samples is SIRE-Subject ID_Finger ID_Capture Order. The Finger IDs are listed below. There are in total 150 volunteers, so the Subject ID ranges from 1 to 150. For each subject, the Finger ID ranges from 1 to 10 accordingly. The Capture Order can be 1 or 2 for 3D fingerprints. For example, the fingerprint image named SIRE-102_3_2.bmp in subfolder 102 represents the second capture of the right middle finger of subject 102. Besides, there are several post-processed images (e.g. SIRE-1_1_1_HT1.bmp, SIRE-1_1_1_R414.bmp) corresponding to each 3D fingerprint image.

3. In the sub subfolder raw, there are several intermediate images for generating 3D (2D equivalent) fingerprints.

4. There are several samples missing in subject 61 and 110.

5. The whole database was divided into 3 parts (DS1, DS2, DS3) and was compressed by 7-zip.

For 2D Database:

1. The 2D database consists of corresponding 2D samples from 150 subjects. The naming of the 2D database is similar to that of 3D, but the Capture Order can be 1, 2, 3 or 4 (each finger was captured 4 times by an optical 2D sensor).

2. The whole database was compressed by 7-zip and named ‘2D Database.7z’.
