Army SBIR, Interim Funding Final Report on Contract W911NF-07-C-0022 (Lumidigm, Inc.)

Abstract

The major objective during this performance period was to collect a set of whole-hand data on a significantly larger population of volunteers than collected during Phase I of this program. This expanded dataset will be used to further develop and refine whole hand processing algorithms. The larger data set will also provide statistically stronger results. These results will be incorporated into a paper that will be presented and published in the proceedings of the upcoming Biometric Symposium in Baltimore, MD. Forty additional volunteers were recruited and measured with the prototype whole-hand imaging system using the same protocol as used for the 10 volunteers that made up the original dataset. Specifically, each volunteer made two measurement visits separated by at least one day. During each visit, each of the volunteer's hands was measured three times. When the data from the 40 new people were combined with the earlier 10, the resulting dataset contained a total of 600 measurements of 100 unique hands. The full data set comprised data taken on 21 females and 29 males. The age range of the volunteers was 24-70 years old. The volunteers were of mixed ethnicities and demographic profiles.
