User's Guide to Export Controlled Distribution of NIST Biometric Image Software (NBIS-EC)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The NBIS-EC software is subject to U.S. export control laws. This report documents the export controlled distribution of biometric image software developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The export controlled NBIS software is organized into two major packages: 1. NFSEG is a fingerprint segmentation system useful for segmenting four-finger plain impressions, 2. BOZORTH3 is a minutiae based fingerprint matching system. It is our understanding that this software falls within ECCN 3D980, which covers software associated with the development, production or use of certain equipment controlled in accordance with U.S concerns about crime control practices in specific countries. This documentation provided the overview of the export controlled distribution of NBIS software, software installation guide, some algorithmic overview of the NBIS export controlled software and Reference Manual describing each program in this distribution.

متن کاملProposed “NIST Ballistics Identification System (NBIS)” Based on 3D Topography Measurements on Correlation Cells*
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has proposed a “NIST Ballistics Identification System (NBIS)” to facilitate accurate ballistics identifications and fast evidence searches [1]. The NBIS will use three-dimensional (3D) topography measurements for ballistics identification and evidence searches. The 3D topographies will be subdivided into arrays of correlation cells in or...

متن کاملSemiautomatic Image Retrieval Using the High Level Semantic Labels
Content-based image retrieval and text-based image retrieval are two fundamental approaches in the field of image retrieval. The challenges related to each of these approaches, guide the researchers to use combining approaches and semi-automatic retrieval using the user interaction in the retrieval cycle. Hence, in this paper, an image retrieval system is introduced that provided two kind of qu...
