  1. The match performance of contactless fingerprint probes compared to contact-based galleries has increased accuracy. This performance, along with convenience of use, is encouraging the utilization of contactless fingerprint collection methods. However, issues with differential performance for different demographics may still exist. Past works focused mainly on the interoperability of contactless prints with smartphone applications and kiosk devices. This paper focuses on the differential performance of genuine match scores based on the demographic of finger size, ridge density, and total ridge count. Distribution of genuine match scores shows a correlation between an increase in genuine match scores and these variables in contactless smartphone collection methods with the largest correlation appearing in finger size.

  2. Contactless fingerprints have continued to grow interoperability as a faster and more convenient replacement for contact fingerprints, and with covid-19 now starting to be a past event the need for hygienic alternatives has only grown after the sudden focus during the pandemic. Though, past works have shown issues with the interoperability of contactless prints from both kiosk devices and phone fingerprint collection apps. The focus of the paper is the evaluation of match performance between contact and contactless fingerprints, and the evaluation of match score bias based on skin demographics. AUC results indicate contactless match performance is as good as contact fingerprints, while phone contactless fingerprints fall short. Additionally, bias found for melanin showed specific ranges affected in both low melanin values and high melanin values.
