A recent review concluded that, while commonly used fingerprinting algorithms have similar performances, circular fingerprints generally perform best [4].
The collusion channel is exactly what separates group testing from fingerprinting: while in fingerprinting it is commonly assumed that this channel is not known or only weakly known to the distributor, in group testing, this channel is usually assumed known in advance.
While fingerprint misidentifications are rarely discovered, they do happen.
While fingerprints were being taken, the authorities still relied heavily on the Bertillon system of body measurements, markings and personality characteristics to identify criminals.
While fingerprints have about 30 to 40 unique characteristics and facial recognition devices, now being used more widely, can pinpoint about 80 in a human face, the iris has more than 260 rings, furrows, freckles and other marks that can be used for identification.
And while fingerprint examiners are trained to testify only to "absolute certainty" about their work, defense lawyers point out that examiners do make mistakes, that training standards vary widely and that most examiners have either failed or never taken the main certification test.
While fingerprint technology has been around for several years, particularly in PCs designed for business-users, there have been concerns about its reliability.
For example, the descriptors used in this study characterize whether two compounds share similar physic-chemical properties, while fingerprints more focus on the 2D structure similarity, leading to that an individual model could only capture part of the relationship.
While fingerprint analysis was used to examine the exact combinations of the 8 species present in the faecal samples, the association between individual sets of species was also examined separately, irrespective of the presence or absence of any enteropathogens not currently under consideration (co-occurrence analysis).
The "fingerprinting" concept was borrowed from magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) [ 20] technique, permitting the accelerating acquisition of multiple magnetic resonance parameters, while in current proposal the "fingerprint" refers to a feature vector constructed from the DWI images with different diffusion gradients that contains comprehensive neural information.
