We design and fabricate wearable whole hand 3D targets complete with four fingerprints and one thumb print for evaluating multi-finger capture devices, e.g., slap and contactless readers. We project 2D calibration patterns onto 3D finger surfaces pertaining to each of the four fingers and the thumb to synthetically generate electronic 3D whole hand targets. A state-of-the-art 3D printer is then used to fabricate physical 3D hand targets with printing materials that are similar in hardness and elasticity to the human skin and are optically compatible for imaging with a variety of fingerprint readers. We demonstrate that the physical 3D whole hand targets can be imaged using three commercial (500/1000 ppi) Appendix F certified slap fingerprint readers and a contactless reader. We further show that the features present in the 2D calibration patterns (e.g. ridge structure) are replicated with high fidelity on both the electronically generated and physically fabricated 3D hand targets. Results of evaluation experiments for the three slap readers and the contactless reader using the generated whole hand targets are also presented.
