201<strong>ANSI</strong>/<strong>NIST</strong>-<strong>ITL</strong> 1-<strong>2011</strong>Data Format for the Interchange of Biometric and Forensic Information20.12 Field 16.012: Bits per pixel / BPXThis mandatory field shall contain the number of bits used to represent a pixel.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 pixel withincreased precision.20.13 Field 16.013: Color space / CSPThis optional field shall contain an entry from Table 1 to identify the color spaceused to exchange the image data. If the color space for an RGB image cannotbe determined, an entry of "RGB" shall be entered. The description for field10.012 contains additional information on the color space field.20.14 Field 16.016: Scanned horizontal pixel scale / SHPSThis optional ASCII field shall specify the horizontal pixel density used for thescanning of the original image providing the SLC field contains a "1" or a "2".Otherwise, it indicates the horizontal component of the pixel aspect ratio.20.15 Field 16.017: Scanned vertical pixel scale / SVPSThis optional ASCII field shall specify the vertical pixel density used for thescanning of the original image providing the SLC field contains a "1" or a "2".Otherwise, it indicates the vertical component of the pixel aspect ratio.20.16 Field 16.020: Comment / COMThis optional ASCII field may be used to insert comments or other ASCII textinformation with the image data.21.17 Field 16.024: User-defined testing image quality score/ UQSThis optional ASCII field is used to specify one or more different metrics of imagequality score data for the image stored in this record. The meaning attributed tothis metric must be defined and interpreted by the producer of the scoringalgorithm or by the person or system used to assign the metric to the image. Themetric may be a predictor of AFIS matcher accuracy performance or a differentmetric to indicate a value associated with the quality of the image for a particularfunction.This field may contain one or more subfields, each consisting of three informationitems. This subfield (Quality Metric Subfield / QMS) is repeated for each imageand quality algorithm used.The first information item (image quality score / QVU) shall be a quantitativeexpression of the predicted matching performance of the biometric sample.This item contains the ASCII representation of the integer between 0 and 100assigned to the image data by a quality algorithm. Higher values indicatebetter quality. An entry of “255” shall indicate a failed attempt to calculate aquality score. An entry of “254” shall indicate that no attempt to calculate afingerprint image quality score was made. The use of additional values toDRAFT 2
