IQF (Image Quality of Fingerprint) Software Application

Abstract

Knowledge of the image quality of a fingerprint is important and useful information in a variety of applications; it can, for example, help determine the probability of successful matching, alert an operator to a poor quality enrollment, or aid problem diagnostics/performance assessment of capture devices. This document describes a quantitative measure of image quality (developed by the author) which is tailored to measure the visual quality of a digital fingerprint image. This Image Quality of Fingerprint (IQF) metric is available as a freeware software application.
