195<strong>ANSI</strong>/<strong>NIST</strong>-<strong>ITL</strong> 1-<strong>2011</strong>Data Format for the Interchange of Biometric and Forensic Information19.11 Field 15.011: Compression algorithm / CGAThis mandatory ASCII field shall specify the algorithm used to compress thetransmitted grayscale images. An entry of "NONE" in this field indicates that thedata contained in this record is uncompressed. For those images that are to belosslessly compressed, this field shall contain the code from Table 2 to indicatethe compression method used for the palmprint images. WSQ or JPEG 10918are to be used for those images scanned or transmitted at 500 ppi and JPEG2000 for those images scanned and transmitted at ppi greater than 500. SeeSection 5.6.1. for additional information on the usage of JPEG 2000 for thecompression of friction ridge images. The domain registrar shall maintain aregistry of acceptable compression techniques and corresponding codes thatmay be used as they become available.19.12 Field 15.012: Bits per pixel / BPXThis mandatory ASCII field shall contain the number of bits used to represent apixel. This field shall contain an entry of “8” for normal grayscale values of “0” to“255”. Any entry in this field greater than “8” shall represent a grayscale pixelwith increased precision.19.13 Field 15.013: Palmprint position / PLPThis mandatory tagged field shall contain the palmprint position that matches thepalmprint image. The decimal code number corresponding to the known or mostprobable palmprint position shall be taken from Table 9 and entered as a twocharacterASCII subfield.19.14 Field 15.016: Scanned horizontal pixel scale / SHPSThis optional ASCII field shall specify the horizontal pixel density used for thescanning of the original impression providing the SLC field contains a "1" or a "2".Otherwise, it indicates the horizontal component of the pixel aspect ratio.19.15 Field 15.017: Scanned vertical pixel scale / SVPSThis optional ASCII field shall specify the vertical pixel density used for thescanning of the original impression providing the SLC field contains a "1" or a "2".Otherwise, it indicates the vertical component of the pixel aspect ratio.19.16 Field 15.020: Comment / COMThis optional ASCII field may be used to insert comments or other ASCII textinformation with the image data.19.17 Field 15.024: Palmprint quality metric / PQMThis optional ASCII field is used to specify one or more different metrics ofpalmprint image quality score data for the image stored in this record. Themeaning attributed to this metric must be defined and interpreted by the producerof the scoring algorithm or by the person or system used to assign the metric tothe palmprint image. The metric may be a predictor of AFIS matcher accuracyDRAFT 2
