Semantic conformance testing for finger minutiae data

This paper describes a scheme for semantic conformance testing of standardized biometric interchange records. While conformance testing on a syntactical level has been formulated in the modality specific assertion test, there is yet no testing methodology being developed that could attest that a compact interchange record such as a minutiae template is indeed a faithful representation for the input signal. Thus we provide a testing methodology and outline to which extend this methodology can benefit from ground truth data being collected by forensic experts.
