Technical Reference for fingerprint image quality metrics

OVERVIEW

Describes the methods and practices for defining the quality of a fingerprint image. Focuses on methods employing local and global quality measures, which ranges from a localised block level perspective as well as the global perspective and takes into account the entire image. While local quality measures confirm the texture-like pattern within a localised area of the fingerprint image, the global quality measures verify the orderly flow pattern of the ridges in the full impression of a fingerprint image. Although the methods and practices described are tailored towards the whole fingerprint image, the local quality measure can be used to define the quality metrics of a subset region or the region around a minutia.
