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.

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

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

Effects of JPEG 2000 Image Compression on 1000ppi Fingerprint Imagery

May 26, 2011
Author(s)
Shahram Orandi, John M. Libert, John Grantham, Kenneth Ko, Stephen S. Wood, Jin Chu Wu
This paper presents the findings of a study conducted to measure the impact of JPEG 2000 compression on fingerprint imagery at various levels of compression. The impact of compression is measured in terms of impact to both Galton and non-Galton based
