What is the ridge frequency of a fingerprint?
Ridge frequency is the reciprocal of ridge distance indicating the number of ridges within a unit length of an image. It is the local frequency of the ridges that collectively form the ridge frequency image. The estimation of ridge frequency is one basic prerequisite in the enhancement of fingerprint images.
What is the quality of fingerprint image?
NFIQ 2 ranks the image from 100 to 1 with 100 being the best quality, and 1 being the worst quality. NFIQ 2 – 100 = Excellent – 75 = Very Good – 50 = Good – 25 = Fair – 1 = Poor Page 3 What Makes a Good Print? Below are examples of finger images from the NFIQ 2 conformance test set, with their scores.
