Sokoto Coventry Fingerprint Dataset
It provides a new dataset for academic research in biometrics, specifically for fingerprint analysis, but is incremental as it adds to existing datasets.
The paper introduces the Sokoto Coventry Fingerprint Dataset (SOCOFing), a biometric fingerprint database with 6,000 images from 600 African subjects, including synthetic alterations for research purposes.
This paper presents the Sokoto Coventry Fingerprint Dataset (SOCOFing), a biometric fingerprint database designed for academic research purposes. SOCOFing is made up of 6,000 fingerprint images from 600 African subjects. SOCOFing contains unique attributes such as labels for gender, hand and finger name as well as synthetically altered versions with three different levels of alteration for obliteration, central rotation, and z-cut.
