The MSU/MSP Longitudinal Fingerprint Similarity Score (LFSS) database includes pairwise similarity scores between fingerprint images and values of the covariates used in Yoon and Jain's paper ("Longitudinal Study of Fingerprint Recognition", PNAS, Vol. 112, No. 28, pp. 8555-8560, July 2015). The MSU/MSP LFSS database will be released only for the purpose of replicating and extending the longitudinal fingerprint study presented in this paper.
