NIST Special Database 300: Uncompressed Plain and Rolled Images from Fingerprint Cards

June 14, 2018
Author(s)
Gregory P. Fiumara, Patricia A. Flanagan, John D. Grantham, Bruce Bandini, Kenneth Ko, John M. Libert
A new collection of legacy inked rolled and plain fingerprint card scans are being released to the public. The cards were scanned at three resolutions in the 8 bit grayscale colorspace. The data is available as lossless images for free.

Usability Testing of a Contactless Fingerprint Device: Part 1

December 7, 2016
Author(s)
Brian C. Stanton, Mary F. Theofanos, Susanne M. Furman, John M. Libert, Shahram Orandi, John D. Grantham
The use of biometrics to identify individuals has become an important component of efforts to ensure U.S. national security, and has also grown rapidly. Biometrics are, for example, an integral part of the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status

JPEG 2000 CODEC Certification Guidance for 1000 ppi Fingerprint Friction Ridge Imagery

April 13, 2016
Author(s)
John M. Libert, Shahram Orandi, Michael D. Garris, Frederick R. Byers, John D. Grantham
The document describes the procedure by which applications of JPEG 2000 CODECs will be evaluated with respect to conformance to the NIST guidance for compression of 1000 ppi friction ridge images as detailed in NIST Special Publication 500-289 [NIST5]

JPEG 2000 CODEC Certification Guidance for 1000 ppi Fingerprint Friction Ridge Imagery

June 4, 2015
Author(s)
Shahram Orandi, John M. Libert, Michael Garris, John Grantham, Frederick R. Byers
The document describes the procedure by which applications of JPEG 2000 CODECs will be evaluated with respect to conformance to the NIST guidance for compression of 1000 ppi friction ridge images as detailed in NIST Special Publication 500-289 [NIST5]

A Spectral Analytic Method for Fingerprint Image Sample Rate Estimation

February 25, 2014
Author(s)
John M. Libert, Shahram Orandi, John D. Grantham, Michael D. Garris
This study examines the use of the NIST Spectral Image Validation and Verification (SIVV) metric for the application of detecting the sample rate of a given fingerprint digital image. SIVV operates by reducing an input image to a 1-dimensional power

Compression Guidance for 1000 ppi Friction Ridge Imagery

February 24, 2014
Author(s)
Shahram Orandi, John M. Libert, John D. Grantham, Kenneth Ko, Stephen S. Wood, Frederick R. Byers, Bruce Bandini, Stephen G. Harvey, Michael D. Garris
This special publication provides guidance for compression of 1000 ppi friction ridge imagery as well as an interoperability pathway between legacy 500 ppi friction ridge imagery and new 1000 ppi friction ridge image data.

Effects of JPEG 2000 Lossy Image Compression on 1000 ppi Latent Fingerprint Casework

October 25, 2013
Author(s)
Shahram Orandi, John M. Libert, John D. Grantham, Frederick R. Byers, Lindsay M. Petersen, Michael D. Garris
This paper presents the findings of a study conducted to measure the impact of JPEG 2000 lossy compression on the comparison of 1000 ppi latent fingerprint imagery and 1000 ppi exemplar fingerprint imagery. Combinations of image pairs that vary by the

Examination of Downsampling Strategies for Converting 1000 ppi Fingerprint Imagery to 500 ppi

January 22, 2013
Author(s)
Shahram Orandi, John M. Libert, John D. Grantham, Lepley Margaret, Bruce Bandini, Kenneth Ko, Lindsay M. Petersen, Stephen S. Wood, Stephen G. Harvey
Currently the bulk of fingerprint data in operational is captured, processed and stored at 500 ppi using the WSQ compressed digital format. With the transition to 1000 ppi, some systems will unavoidably contain an overlap between 500 ppi and 1000 ppi

An Exploration of the Operational Ramifications of Lossless Compression of 1000 ppi Fingerprint Imagery

August 6, 2012
Author(s)
Shahram Orandi, John M. Libert, John D. Grantham, Kenneth Ko, Stephen S. Wood, Jin Chu Wu, Lindsay M. Petersen, Bruce Bandini
This paper presents the findings of a study initially conducted to measure the operational impact of JPEG 2000 lossy compression on 1000 ppi fingerprint imagery at various levels of compression, but later expanded to include lossless compression. Lossless
