<strong>ANSI</strong>/<strong>NIST</strong>-<strong>ITL</strong> 1-<strong>2011</strong>Data Format for the Interchange of Biometric and Forensic Information13.9.37 EFS Field 9.333 Minutiae Ridge Counts / MRCThis field contains the counts of intervening ridges between specified minutiae.Field 9.332 Minutia Ridge Count Algorithm / MRA governs how the minutiaeare selected for ridge counts, and the details of how the ridges are counted. Notethat if Field 9.382: Skeletonized image / SIM is used for ridge counts it can bederived from that field rather than included explicitly. This field consists of fiveinformation items:• The first information item (Minutia Index A / MIA) contains the index ofthe first minutia.• The second information item (Minutia Index B / MIB) contains the indexof the second minutia.• The third information item (Ridge count / MIR) contains the number ofintervening ridges between minutiae A and B. 38• The fourth information item (Reference number / MRN) is optional and, ifused, containsa reference number specific to the ridge count algorithm. 39• The fifth information item (Residual / MRS) is optional and is specific tothe OCTANT and EFTS7 ridge count algorithms, specifying the half of theoctant in which the neighboring minutia lies. The residual is 0 if theneighboring minutia lies in the clockwise half of the octant, or 1 if theminutia lies in the counterclockwise half of the octant.Brad Wing 6/29/10 3:49 PMComment: Rewritten for consistency ofpresentation13.9.38 EFS Field 9.334 No Minutiae Present / NMPThis optional field is used to indicate whether the analysis process hasdetermined that no minutiae (Field 9.331 Minutiae / MIN) could be discerned inthe image:If the analysis process has determined that no minutiae could be discerned inthe image, this field shall be set to Y.Otherwise, this field will be omitted.•38 Unknown ridge counts shall be omitted (left empty). Other details or special cases (if any) are governed bythe Minutiae Ridge Count Algorithm (MRA) field.•100DRAFT 239For the OCTANT and EFTS7 ridge count algorithms, this information item specifies the octant
