Answer:
The FVC competition begins with a call for participants. On registration, participants receive a confidential identification for its algorithms. Griaule Biometrics algorithm identification is P066.
After registration participants receive a sample set of images from each database. Samples let the algorithms to refine and tune his performance and they are not included on final contest. Images on figure 1 belong to database samples.
Participants submit their algorithms and they are tested during some months. When all the results are compiled, participants are confidentially informed about the performance of their algorithms. Finally, they are required to decide whether or not they want to publish their names together with their algorithm’s performance. In case a participant decides to remain anonymous, the label "Anonymous organization" will be used, and the real identity will not be revealed.
