ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011Data Format for the Interchange of Biometric and Forensic Informationmultiple data entries, with polygons to indicate the locations. This field containsthe following three information items:• The first information item (Position code / EPN) contains the codenumber corresponding to the known or most probable position shall betaken and entered as a one- or two-character ASCII subfieldThe second information item (Finger segment / FSM) is optional and onlyapplies to fingerprints in which all or part of the medial or proximal segments(lower joints) are present in the image, in which case the 3-character code fromTable 17 is used to indicate the finger segment position. This information itemdefaults to DST: if the Position Code indicates a fingerprint and the FingerSegment is not specified, the impression shall be regarded as including solelythe distal segment with no substantive portions of the medial or proximalsegments. See Figure 8 for more information, andFigure 9 for examples. This information item shall be omitted if the Position Codeindicates a palm or foot.The third information item (Off-center fingerprint / OCF) is optional and onlyapplies to fingerprints in which the impression does not contain the central areaof the fingerprint (i.e. the core or a center point of reference), in which case the 1-character code fromTable 18 is used to indicate the off-center position of the fingerprint image.Figure 11 shows examples of off-center fingerprint positions. Thisinformation item shall be omitted if the Position Code indicates a palm orfoot.The fourth information item (Polygon / PYG) is a closed path that delineates theportion of the region of interest corresponding to the Position Code/FingerSegment codes. See• Figure 9 and Figure 10 for examples. If the bounding box is not defined,the Position Code/Finger Segment codes are assumed to apply to theentire region of interest.Table 17:Finger segment codes68DRAFT 2
