Free Fingerprint Imaging Software at Sourceforge.net

Free Fingerprint Imaging Software -- fingerprint pattern classification, minutae detection, Wavelet Scalar Quantization(wsq) compression, ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000 reference implementation, baseline and lossless jpeg, image utilities, math and neural net libs

This ffpis project will provide source code in C using automake, autoconf, and libtool to provide crossplatform compatibility

This just real quick, introduction/notes: I have lots of cleanup work to do. So far the below is mostly just what I used to apply to sourceforge to get this project. Uses c,automake/autoconf,X11 makes availible several libraries (nfis_math, nfis_wsq, nfis_an2k, nfis_util, nfis_image, nfis_pca, nfis_lfs, nfis_mlp) makes availible about 40 programs/utilities availible platforms: posixlike(linux,sgi,bsd), windows using cygwin. Makes fingerprint information usable. FBI, Interpol, etc use ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000 "Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial, Scar Mark & Tatto(SMT) Information" WSQ compressions has qualities that jpeg,png,gif, doesn't have. Has robust Multi-layered Perceptron(MLP) neural Network Needs clean ups, modernization and packaging, needs gtk+ and/or QT. data formats: ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2000 ascii and binary formats, jpeg, wsq, sun raster file? I liked to add rdf: Dublin core foaf crime/law enforcement rdfs Interops with software in use by FBI, Interpol, others including Universal Latent Workstation. TODO list

Maybe the wsq stuff I have isn't totaly correct? Q. 2.16: "When I compared my implementation of the FBI spec to the code distributed by NIST, I found some differences between the spec and Craig Watson's comp_wsq.c source in the subregion used for the subband variance computation." A. 2.16: The README files on the NIST Visual Image Processing Group's FTP site clearly state that the software they are distributing is NOT FBI-compliant. Please DO NOT compare your implementation of the FBI specification with NIST's code. As stated in A. 1.2 above, I am not aware of any compliant freeware versions of the FBI WSQ specification.

Notes on where to find jpeg implementations. IJG source Free, portable C code for JPEG compression is available from the Independent JPEG Group. Source code, documentation, and test files are included. Version 6b is available from ftp.uu.net:/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz. If you are on a PC you may prefer ZIP archive format, which you can find at ftp.simtel.net:/pub/simtelnet/msdos/graphics/jpegsr6b.zip (or at any Simtel mirror site). On CompuServe, see the Graphics Learning forum (GO CIS:LEARN), library 12 "JPEG Tools", file jpegsr6b.zip. The IJG code includes a reusable JPEG compression/decompression library, plus sample applications "cjpeg" and "djpeg", which perform conversion between JPEG JFIF format and image files in PPM/PGM (PBMPLUS), BMP, Utah RLE, and Targa formats. A third application "jpegtran" provides lossless transcoding between different JPEG formats --- for example, it can convert a baseline JPEG file to an equivalent progressive JPEG file. jpegtran can also do lossless rotation and flipping of JPEG files. Two small applications "wrjpgcom" and "rdjpgcom" insert and extract textual comments in JFIF files. The package is highly portable; it has been used successfully on many machines ranging from Apple IIs to Crays. The IJG code is free for both noncommercial and commercial use; only an acknowledgement in your documentation is required to use it in a product. (See the README file in the distribution for details.) A different free JPEG implementation, written by the PVRG group at Stanford, is available from havefun.stanford.edu:/pub/jpeg/JPEGv1.2.1.tar.Z. The PVRG code is designed for research and experimentation rather than production use; it is slower, harder to use, and less portable than the IJG code, but the PVRG code is easier to understand. Also, the PVRG code supports (the original form of) lossless JPEG, while the IJG code does not. But PVRG does not support progressive JPEG. There's also a lossless-JPEG-only implementation available from Cornell, ftp.cs.cornell.edu:/pub/multimed/ljpg.tar.Z. Caution: the Cornell coder is known to have bugs for 16-bit data. Neither the PVRG nor Cornell codecs are being actively maintained, but the IJG code is.
