<strong>ANSI</strong>/<strong>NIST</strong>-<strong>ITL</strong> 1-<strong>2011</strong>Data Format for the Interchange of Biometric and Forensic Informationscanning resolutionInformally, the number of pixels per unit distance at which an image is captured(ppmm or ppi). More formally, “resolution” (resolving power) is distinct from“sampling frequency” (number of pixels per unit distance). Resolution can becharacterized by a measurement of the Spatial Frequency Response (SFR)function. The capture of high quality friction ridge images generally requires animage quality specification, such as the FBI’s IAFIS <strong>Image</strong> Quality Specification(EFTS Appendix F) or <strong>Image</strong> Quality Specifications for Single Finger CaptureDevices (PIV), which defines both resolution and sampling frequency. Withoutsuch a specification, the term “resolution” is only informational.substrateSurface upon which a friction ridge impression is deposited.recordA record containing unique ASCII field identifiers for variable-length data fieldsthat is capable of being parsed based on the field identifier and the data contentsof each field.transactionA command, message, or an input record that explicitly or implicitly calls for aprocessing action. Information contained in a transaction shall be applicable to asingle subject.valleyA lowered portion of the epidermis on the palmar or plantar skin, consisting ofthose areas between ridges.W3CAbbreviation for the World Wide Web Consortium.
