Abstract

This study examines quality related issues for seemingly high-quality fingerprint submissions in an operational setting that were resulting in submission failures and determined that the predominant root cause of most failures were improper packaging of the transmitted images or other controllable conditions beyond the inherent quality of the fingerprints.
