Abstract
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 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.
