Description:

NIST 8-bit Gray Scale Images of Mated Fingerprint Card Pairs. Each segmented image is 832 by 768 pixels and classified using the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) classes given by the FBI. The images are compressed using a non-standard implementation of the JPEG lossless compression algorithm. IST Special Database 9 has the following features: 270 mated card pairs of segmented 8-bit gray scale fingerprint images; NCIC classifications given by the FBI; Cards selected randomly thus approximating a natural horizontal slice of the NCIC classifications; Scanned at 19.7 pixels per mm; Image format documentation and example software (written on a SUN 4/470 SPARCserver); Same code as software used with NIST Special Database 4.
