Slap Fingerprint Segmentation Evaluation (SlapSeg) is a series of public tests of automated slap fingerprint segmentation algorithms. Fingerprint segmentation is the act of separating or segmenting an image of the friction ridge structure of the hand into individual images of the upper-most finger joints, known as distal phalanges. The evaluation has been conducted by the Image Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology since 2004.
The current iteration of SlapSeg is SlapSeg III, which incorporates evaluation of tenprint cards, identification flats, upper palm, and full palm images. Previous tests include SlapSeg II (2008-2018) and SlapSeg 04 (2004-2005).
If you found a bug and can provide steps to reliably reproduce it, or if you have a feature request, please open an issue. Other questions may be addressed to the NIST SlapSeg team.
