Fingerprint Recognition header must be CBEFF compliant. For more information, see the following: http://www.iso.org.

ISO/IEC 19794-8 Finger Pattern Skeletal Data ― This standard it is intended to be used to achieve interoperability between pattern and minutiae-based fingerprint recognition systems. It is based on the common properties shared between the spectral pattern and minutia by encoding ridges in a manner that the skeleton of the ridge provides the basis for detecting a minutia.

EFTS v7.1 Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Specification ― This specification covers electronic transmission of information involving fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) based on the ANSI NIST ITL 1-2000 strandard. The purpose of this document is to specify certain requirements to which agencies must adhere to communicate electronically with the IAFIS. For more information, see http://www.fbi.gov/filelink.html?file=/hq/cjisd/iafis/efts71/efts 71.pdf.

EBTS v1.0 Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification ― This specification describes customizations of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Specification (EFTS) transactions that are necessary to utilize the Department of Defense (DoD) Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS).

FBI- WSQ (Wavelet Scalar Quantization) Fingerprint Image Compression ― WSQ is a lossy compression that is able to preserve the high resolution details of gray scale images that are usually discarded by other lossy compression algorithms. It achieves high compression ratio, on average 15:1 depending on parameters. For more information, see the ”Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) WSQ Gray-scale Fingerprint Image Compression Specification,” Federal Bureau of Investigation, Document No. IAFIS-IC-0110 (V3), 19 December 1997.

JPEG2000 (Joint Photographic Experts Group 2000) ― Fingerprint Image Compression is a new image coding system that uses state-of-the-art compression techniques based on wavelet technology. Its architecture should lend itself to a wide range of uses from portable digital cameras through to advanced pre-press, medical imaging and other key sectors. Page 109 of 166
