<strong>ANSI</strong>/<strong>NIST</strong>-<strong>ITL</strong> 1-<strong>2011</strong>Data Format for the Interchange of Biometric and Forensic InformationTable 51.21.21 Field 17.021: Comment / COMThis optional field may be used to insert comments or other ASCII textinformation with the iris image data.21.22 Field 17.022: Scanned horizontal pixel scale / SHPSThis optional ASCII field shall specify the horizontal pixel density used forscanning providing the SLC field contains a "1" or a "2". Otherwise, it indicatesthe horizontal component of the pixel aspect ratio.21.23 Field 17.023: Scanned vertical pixel scale / SVPSThis optional ASCII field shall specify the vertical pixel density used for scanningproviding the SLC field contains a "1" or a "2". Otherwise, it indicates the verticalcomponent of the pixel aspect ratio.21.24 Field 17.024: <strong>Image</strong> Quality Score / IQSThis 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 toconvey other information should be harmonized with ISO/IEC 19794standardsThe second information item (algorithm vendor identification / QAV) shallspecify the ID of the vendor of the quality algorithm used to calculate thequality score. This 4-digit hex value is assigned by IBIA and expressed asfour ASCII characters. The IBIA shall maintain the Vendor Registry of CBEFFBiometric Organizations that will map the value in this field to a registeredorganization.211DRAFT 2
