Wayman A. Carver Papers
No full textWayman A. Carver (b. 1905 d. 1967), jazz musician and music educator, achieved acclaim for his virtuosity and artistry as a flutist during his tenure from 1934-39 with Chick Webb and his Orchestra.

Carver was an outstanding student and assisted with instruction and band direction. In 1942, Carver accepted a faculty position in the music department at his alma mater.

Market estimates show that finger-scan continues to be the leading biometric technology in terms of market share, commanding nearly 50% of non-AFIS biometric revenue. The surge in demand for robust algorithms in many application fields and the growing of activities in this topic, both from academia and industries, require a great attention to build reliable benchmarks for comparing and assessing developments in fingerprint verification. This chapter is devoted to describe the attempts made in the FVC Competition towards establishing a common technology evaluation methodology.
