Biometric Compression Information

In July of 2009 NIST in partnership with the FBI commenced an investigation on the use of JPEG 2000 for compressing fingerprint imagery with the ultimate goal

Biometric Quality Homepage

Performance of biometric systems is dependent on the quality of the acquired input samples. If quality can be improved, either by sensor design, by user

Biometric Standards Program and Resource Center

Supporting the national strategy on biometrics and the development of required biometric standards is the cornerstone of our program. We seek to help the U.S.

Biometrics

Biometrics is the measurement of physiological characteristics like – but not limited to – fingerprint, iris patterns, or facial features that can be used to

Biometrics Web Services (BWS)

https://github.com/NIST-BWS/wsabi2 Combining biometrics and web services to enable multimodal biometric interoperability and enhance mobile

Blind Measurement Comparisons of the USA and UK Pb-210 National Standards

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Radioactivity Group, and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) of the UK, and the national metrology

Boulder Microfabrication Facility

Central to fulfilling many of the Division’s programmatic goals, and those of other divisions at NIST-Boulder, the Quantum Electromagnetics Division is

Broadband Large-Scale Modeling for Wireless

Large signal descriptions are now required as wireless networks are pushed beyond the limits of linear analysis. The complexity of the resulting problems demand

Building Integration with Smart Grid

Developing a next generation "smart grid" requires new measurement science and industry standards that enable homes and buildings to interact with the grid. In

Building Integration with Smart Grid

New measurement science and industry standards are needed to enable building systems and consumers to interact with a future "smart grid," which supports the

Building Joint Sealant Service Life Prediction

The Building Joint Sealant Service Life Prediction Research project has been initiated by BFRL to deliver critical predictive models for service life to the

Building Measurement Confidence for Cell Characterization

Cells are being used in drug discovery, therapeutics development, biomedical research, and biotechnological and medical applications. However, the measurement

Building the next generation reference reflectometer

ROSI (Robotic Optical Scattering Instrument) is a new facility for measuring reflectance and scattering of materials in the ultraviolet to short-wave infrared

Bulk Special Nuclear Material Analysis (BSAP) PT Program

Quality Assurance (QA) is a mission critical tool for quantitatively assessing the performance of laboratories. The performance of individual labs for specific

Calcium Thermal Beam Optical Clock

A simple, compact alternative to the highest performing optical standards, the Ca clock uses a thermal beam of neutral atoms with one or two lasers to achieve

Calculation of optical constants and dielectric response

We maintain a suite of programs that can help calculate the optical properties of many solids throughout the electromagnetic spectrum.

Calibration of Beta-Particle Sources and Instruments for Radiation Protection

A calibration service for protection-level beta-particle sources and instrumentation has been in place at NIST for several years.

Calibration of Epoxy Based Ba-133 Standard Phantom Sources for Use in an International Comparison for Quantitative SPECT

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recently initiated a Cooperative Research Project (CRP) entitled "Development of Quantitative Nuclear Medicine

Calibration of the Extreme UV/X-ray Irradiance Sensor (EXIS) for the Geostationary Operations Environment Satellite R-Series Program (GOES-R)

Calibrations of the The Extreme ultraviolet/X-ray Irradiance Sensor (EXIS), which will be installed on the Geostationary Operations Environment Satellite R
