Abstract

A system and method for evaluating a biometric detection system, in accordance with the present invention, provides an edited database including a plurality of existing biometric images with corrected extracted features that were acquired with a sensor or sensors different from the sensor of the system under evaluation. A second database, smaller than the edited database, is edited which includes biometric images (that were acquired by the sensor of the system under evaluation) are employed to evaluate the biometric detection system. The second database has errors in extracted features corrected. A statistical perturbation model is constructed to describe degradation characteristics of the extracted features from the second database as provided in the editing step. The statistical perturbation model is applied to the edited database to construct a perturbed database sensitive to degradations of the biometric system under evaluation. The biometric system is evaluated against the edited database and the perturbed database to predict a performance of the biometric system.
