NIST
Special Database 10
NIST
Supplemental Fingerprint Card Data (SFCD)
(for Special
Database 9 - 8-Bit Gray Scale Images)
The NIST database
of supplemental fingerprint card data provides a larger sample of fingerprint
patterns that have a low natural frequency of occurrence and transitional
fingerprint classes in NIST Special Database 9.
The data in NIST
Special Database 10 are a 3-disk set with the first CD-ROM containing
2160 images and the last 2 CD-ROMs containing 1680 images each. Each segmented
image is 832 by 768 pixels and classified using the National Crime Information
Center (NCIC) classes given by the FBI.
The images are compressed
using a non-standard implementation of the JPEG lossless compression algorithm.
The first CD-ROM
requires approximately 690 megabytes of storage and the second and third
CD-ROM require approximately 590 megabytes of storage compressed and 1.4
and 1.1 gigabytes uncompressed (1.9:1 average compression ratio).
The database also
includes example software which was written on a SUN SPARCserver. The
software is the same code used with NIST Special Database 4 and 9.
NIST Special Database
10 has the following features:
- 552 non-mated
cards of supplemental data concentrating on arches, tented arches, low
ridge count loops and whorls
- NCIC classifications
given by the FBI
- Scanned at 19.7
pixels per mm.
- Image format documentation
and example software (written on a SUN SPARCserver)
- Software is the
same code used with NIST Special Databases 4 and 9.
Suitable for automated
fingerprint classification research, the database can be used to aid with:
- algorithm development
- system training
or testing
The database is
a valuable tool for evaluating fingerprint systems using a sample of fingerprints
which provides more examples of low natural occurrence classes and transition
NCIC classifications.
System
Requirements: CD-ROM drive with software to read ISO-9660
format and the ability to compile SUN C source code.
