Generation of reproducible fingermarks and application to fingermark dating

Summary

Optical images of fingerprints generated by manual deposition and by the Reed-Stanton press rig are reported. In particular 3 sets of images are collected. Set 1, Set 2 and Set 3. In all cases, pre-inked strips were used to produce visible prints and plain white paper was employed as deposition surfaces. Fingerprint Images were captured as jpeg files on the Visual Spectral Comparator (VSC4CX, Foster & Freeman, Evesham, UK). Images were uploaded to this data collection as jpeg files as they were created in this format. Set 1 is a collection of images of a depletion series of 5 “manually deposited fingerprints” and another of 5 fingerprints generated by the press rig; Set 2 is a collection of 4 fingerprints generated by the press rig at a time interval of 1 week; Set 3 is a collection of 10 “manually deposited replicate fingerprints” and 10 replicate fingerprints generated by the Reed-Stanton press rig. Another set of data collected under the folder name of "Ageing data" contains MALDI MS Imaging raw data of silicon stamped fingermarks imaged after ageing for 0, 1, 4 and 8 days. Data may be opened and processed using the freeware software Biomap.

Additional details Additional details Types of data: Dataset Collection period: From To 2013 2013 Data collection method: The methodology used to generate optical images of inked fingerprints is fully reported in H. Reed, et al., The Reed-Stanton press rig for the generation of reproducible fingermarks: Towards a standardised methodology for fingermark research, Sci. Justice (2015). One donor was used throughout. For the generation of marks undergoing ageing and analysed by MALDI MSI (subsequently statistically treated) no human donor was used; instead flat fingermarks” were employed. These are flat and linear patterns produced by a silicone master stamp in the press rig. The marks were generated using a latent print reference pad containing sebaceous oil secretions. Data processing and preparation activities: No changes have been made to these data prior to deposit. They are all raw data. The risk of disclosing the donor's identity for Set1-Set3 of fingerprint images was mitigated by removing references to real names and other identifying information. Additional information: In order to access the fingermark ageing dataset after the download, the user need to have a fully working software named Biomap. The software can be downloaded as freeware from the MSimaging website at http://www.maldi-msi.org.
