Biometrics testing has for objective to determine the performance of a biometric system in order to guarantee security and user experience requirements. Providing trust in biometric systems is a key for many manufacturers. The performance is usually measured through the computation of matching scores between legitimate and impostor samples from a given database. Different bias in particular those linked to the environmental conditions can modify the performance of a biometric system. In this paper, we study the impact of acquisition conditions on fingerprint systems considering at the same time the quality and accuracy. We defined an own-made database controlling the acquisition conditions and we observe the behavior of three different matchers on these biometric data. Experimental results allow us to quantify their impact on performance and draw conclusions for testing biometric systems.
