New Delhi, March 28: The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), in collaboration with IIIT-Hyderabad has launched a large-scale competition to test fingerprint-based authentication solutions in biometric algorithms, said the Ministry of Electronics and IT.

The competition invites global researchers and developers to enhance their biometric models using UIDAI's unique, field-collected dataset to improve accuracy in real-world conditions. The first phase of the Biometric SDK Benchmarking challenge focuses on fingerprint authentication. It calls for testing 1:1 matching algorithms for children aged 5-10 years, with updates after 5-10 years.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천5G Lab: Government Establishes Indigenous Facility at Gauhati University To Boost Deeper Understanding and Advance in 6G Technologies.

The competition will enable the participants to understand the performance of their algorithms -- evaluated against a large anonymised biometric dataset within a secured UIDAI sandbox. 슬롯사이트œUIDAI ensures that participant submissions are evaluated securely, with anonymised datasets and no sharing of data with participants,슬롯사이트� the Ministry said.

슬롯사이트œThe challenge offers prizes worth Rs 7.7 lakhs ($9,000) and the opportunity to collaborate with UIDAI in advancing biometric technologies,슬롯사이트� it added. The challenge, which began on March 25, will run till May 25. Those willing to participate can register themselves on the UIDAI website.

The Ministry said that after the fingerprint challenge, UIDAI will also launch SDK benchmarking competitions for iris and face authentication. 슬롯사이트œThe SDK benchmarking competition, organised by UIDAI and IIIT-H, assesses the effectiveness of biometric verification and authentication SDKs. It provides a platform for researchers and industry leaders to evaluate their SDKs' computational power and efficiency,슬롯사이트� UIDAI said.

슬롯사이트œWith a large dataset of real-world biometric data, encompassing diverse geographies and demographics in India, the competition ensures algorithm testing across various challenges and generalisability to real-world scenarios. Developers can identify areas for improvement, and benefit from understanding their performances with peers by participating in the competition,슬롯사이트� it added.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Airtel Lands 2Africa Pearls Cable in India To Boost Global Connectivity With 100Tbps Capacity, Connecting Africa and Europe via Middle East.
