Nist F Ingerprint Image Quality (nfiq) Compliance Test
نویسندگان
چکیده
In August 2004 NIST published a novel measure of fingerprint image quality, which is designed to predict performance of minutia-based fingerprint matching systems. The definition and methodology of NIST Fingerprint Image Quality (NFIQ) is documented in [1] and its implementation is publicly available; but subject to US export control laws as part of NIST Fingerprint Image Software 2 (NFIS2) distribution [2]. This document provides a self administered compliance test that tests if an installation of NFIQ from NFIS2 distribution produces the same results as the original implementation of NFIQ that was developed, tested and published by NIST in August 2004.

Towards Improving the NIST Fingerprint Image Quality (NFIQ) Algorithm
The NIST Fingerprint Image Quality (NFIQ) algorithm has become a standard method to assess fingerprint image quality. However, in many applications a more accurate and reliable assessment is desirable. In this publication, we report on our efforts to optimize the NFIQ algorithm by a retraining of the underlying neural network based on a large fingerprint image database. Although we only achieve...
متن کاملFingerprint Sample Quality Metric NFIQ 2.0
At the NIST March 2010 workshop on “The Future of NFIQ”, the development of a new (open source) version of NFIQ in consultation and collaboration with users and industry was recommended. Following this recommendation, NIST and BSI set up a joint project for the development of a successor version of NFIQ. This paper explains the reasons and needs for the development and details the planned appro...
متن کاملImpact of Image Quality on Performance: Comparison of Young and Elderly Fingerprints
Performance of fingerprint recognition systems is heavily influenced by the quality of fingerprints provided by the user. Image quality analysis is traditionally performed using local and global structures of fingerprint images like ridge flow, analysis of ridge-valley structures, contrast ratios etc. With large scale deployment of fingerprint recognition in systems like US VISIT program, image...
متن کاملInternational Database of Facial Images for Performance and ISO/IEC 19794-5 Conformance Tests
Digital face images and fingerprint images are included in all newly issued EU passports [Bus06]. Face images stored within electronic passports (ePass) have to conform to ISO/IEC 19794-5 [Inta] which defines a number of quality requirements for facial image data. A software application (QS Software) is used to verify photographic image properties (pose, head/image size, height-to-page ratio, e...
متن کاملTowards NFIQ II Lite Self-Organizing Maps for Fingerprint Image Quality Assessment NIST Interagency Report 7973
Fingerprint quality assessment is a crucial task which needs to be conducted accurately in various phases in the biometric enrolment and recognition processes. Neglecting quality measurement will adversely impact the accuracy and efficiency of biometric recognition systems (e.g., verification and identification of individuals). Measuring and reporting quality allows processing enhancements to i...
