Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint, Facial, & Scar Mark & Tattoo (SMT) Information
Overview
This standard defines the content, format, and
units of measurement for the exchange of finger-
print, palmprint, facial/mugshot, and scar, mark, &
tattoo (SMT) image information that may be used
in the identification process of a subject. The information consists of a variety of mandatory and
optional items, including scanning parameters,
related descriptive and record data, digitized fingerprint information, and compressed or uncompressed images. This information is intended for
interchange among criminal justice administrations or organizations that rely on automated fingerprint and palmprint identification systems or
use facial/mugshot or SMT data for identification
purposes.
This standard does not define the characteristics
of the software that shall be required to format the
textual information or to compress and assemble
the associated digital fingerprint image information. Typical applications for this software might
include, but are not limited to, computer systems
associated with a live-scan fingerprinting system,
a workstation that is connected to or is part of an
Automated Fingerprint Identification System
(AFIS), or an Image Storage and Retrieval system
containing fingerprints, facial/mugshot, or SMT
images.
