We study the impact of highly correlated image content on the estimated sensor PRNU and its impact on the sensor identification performance. Based on eight publicly available finger vein datasets, we show formally and experimentally that the nature of finger vein imagery can cause the estimated PRNU to be biased by image content and lead to a fairly bad PRNU estimate. Such bias can cause a false increase in sensor identification performance depending on the dataset composition. Our results indicate that independent of the biometric modality, examining the quality of the estimated PRNU is essential before claiming the sensor identification performance to be good.
