Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Evaluations of biometric performance are performed by using biometric dataset actually collected from subjects being tested. The number of necessary biometric data is determined by the desired biometric performance, the false accept error (FAR) and the false reject rate (FRR). When estimating algorithm with low FAR, it is necessary to gather subjects on a large scale, and the cost of the data collection will become often a problem. It is required that the method to estimate the low FAR from small collected data makes the performance evaluations efficient. In this paper, we propose a new scheme of estimation of the FAR to fit the tail of imposter score distribution to generalized Pareto distributions and to evaluate values and a confidence interval of FAR by using bootstrap method, and evaluated our scheme by applying to fingerprint recognition.
