ISO 19794-2

Latest revision as of 05:52, 1 June 2020

ISO 19794-2 is a format for storing a description of the minutae (differentiating features) of fingerprints. It is almost identical to, but incompatible with, ANSI 378.^[1].

[edit] Identification

ANSI 378 files will begin with 46 4D 52 00, which is ASCII "FMR" followed by a zero byte^[2]. This is the same signature as ANSI 378; ^[3] gives an algorithm to tell them apart.

[edit] Specifications

• Official specification (Paid)
  • 2005 version (ISO-19794-2:2005)
  • 2001 version (ISO-19794-2:2011)
• Robert Važan's unofficial specification

[edit] Software

• FingerprintIO (Only 2005 version, and "only basic read-only support"^[4])
• BiomDI

• ANSI 378
• ANSI 381
