The Fbi Compression Standard for Digitized Fingerprint Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The FBI has formulated national standards for digitization and compression of gray-scale fingerprint images. The compression algorithm for the digitized images is based on adaptive uniform scalar quantization of a discrete wavelet transform subband decomposition, a technique referred to as the wavelet/scalar quantization method. The algorithm produces archival-quality images at compression ratios of around 15 to 1 and will allow the current database of paper fingerprint cards to be replaced by digital imagery. A compliance testing program is also being implemented to ensure high standards of image quality and interchangeability of data between different implementations. We will review the current status of the FBI standard, including the compliance testing process and the details of the first-generation encoder.

The Wavelet Scalar Quantization Compression Standard for Digital Fingerprint Images
A new digital image compression standard has been adopted by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation for use on digitized gray-scale fingerprint images. The algorithm is based on adaptive uniform scalar quantization of a discrete wavelet transform image decomposition and is referred t o as the wavelet/scalar quantization standard. The standard produces archival quality images at compression rati...

متن کاملClass-adapted image compression using independent component analysis
This paper exploits independent component analysis (ICA) to obtain transform-based compression schemes adapted to specific image classes. This adaptation results from the data-dependent nature of the ICA bases, learnt from training images. Several coder architectures are evaluated and compared, according to both standard (SNR) and perceptual (picture quality scale – PQS) criteria, on two classe...
متن کاملProgressive Fingerprint Images Compression Using Edge Detection Technique
In this paper, a progressive fingerprint image compression (for storage or transmission) using edge detection scheme developed. The image is decomposed into two components. The first component is the primary component, which contains the edges, the other component is the secondary component, which contains the textures and the features. In this paper, a general grasp for the image is reconstruc...
