ANSI/<strong>NIST</strong>-ITL 1-<strong>2011</strong> - UPDATE 2013 DRAFT VERSIONMRC. The value <strong>for</strong> this field shall be selected from the “Code” column of Table 44.Table 44 EFS codes <strong>for</strong> minutiae ridge count algorithmsCodeOCTANTEFTS7QUADRANTDescriptionThe minutiae used <strong>for</strong> ridge counts are the nearest neighbors in eightoctants, with the center of the 0th octant defined by the current minutia’stheta, and the 1st through 7th octants proceeding counter clockwise. Ridgecount values are set to number of intervening ridges. (Default)Identical to OCTANT algorithm, except that ridge count values are onemore than the number of intervening ridges. This was the <strong>for</strong>mat used bythe FBI in its EFTS Version 7.1The minutiae used <strong>for</strong> ridge counts are the nearest neighbors in fourquadrants, defined by the image's vertical and horizontal axes. Thequadrants, with the 1 st quadrant at the upper right and the 2 nd through 4 thquadrants proceeding counterclockwise. Ridge count values are set to thenumber of intervening ridges.8.9.7.26 Field 9.333: EFS minutiae ridge counts / MRCThis field contains the counts of intervening ridges between specified minutiae. Field9.332: EFS minutiae ridge count algorithm / MRA governs how the minutiae areselected <strong>for</strong> ridge counts, and the details of how the ridges are counted. Each ridge countis represented in a separate subfield.Field 9.335: EFS minutiae ridge count confidence / RCC may be used to indicate ridgecount confidence between minutiae. If Field 9.372: EFS skeletonized image / SIM isused, ridge counts can be derived from that field rather than included explic<strong>itl</strong>y.Each subfield consists of five in<strong>for</strong>mation items:• The first in<strong>for</strong>mation item (minutia index A / MIA) contains the (1-based) 89 index of the first minutia.• The second in<strong>for</strong>mation item (minutia index B / MIB) contains the (1-based) 89 index of the second minutia.• The third in<strong>for</strong>mation item (ridge count / MIR) contains the number ofintervening ridges between minutiae A and B. Unknown ridge counts shallbe omitted (left empty). The Field 9.332: EFS minutiae ridge countalgorithm / MRA governs other details or special cases (if any).• The fourth in<strong>for</strong>mation item (reference number / MRN) is optional and,if used, contains a reference number specific to the ridge count algorithm.For the OCTANT and EFTS7 ridge count algorithms, this in<strong>for</strong>mation89[2013a>] Text added <strong>for</strong> clarity [
