3. Algorithm evaluation Users need to complete the following steps to perform algorithm evaluation:
Users can submit their face, fingerprint or iris recognition algorithms for third-party performance evaluation by BIT. The basic information for each biometric algorithm such as its name, version, type, modality, description must be provided during algorithm submission. In addition, users are required to report the self-tested results (ROC, EER, etc.) of their algorithms on publicly available databases of BIT. To reserve the limited computational resources of BIT to test high-performance biometric algorithms and track state-of-the-art of biometrics, only qualified biometric algorithms will be tested by the BIT system. The definition of qualified biometric algorithms is as follows.
A biometric verification algorithm
should include two executables in the form of Win32 console
applications, i.e. enroll.exe and match.exe. Example of the
application functioning, through command-line: To help users quickly master the programming protocols of algorithm evaluation, the source codes of the example files "enroll.c" and "match.c" are provided for download.
Users need to create a new test task to start the testing process of BIT by clicking the "New" item on the "Tests" area of the left menu. Users need select an algorithm and a database to submit an application of algorithm evaluation. It takes about one month to finish a testing task because of millions of biometric comparisons in a test task. Once the test task has been finished or abnormally interrupted due to errors of submitted algorithm, the user will be informed by email. Users can browse and edit the submitted test tasks by clicking the "browse" item on the "Tests" area of the left menu.
Users can decide whether to publish the testing results or not. If you choose to publish the testing results, the testing report will be publicly available for download and the performance metrics of your algorithm will be compared with others. If your algorithm performs well, it may be included in the Top5 list.
The testing report of high-performance biometric algorithms will be certified by the IAPR TC4. |
