DESCRIPTORS AND FIELD EDIT SPECIFICATIONS

FOR TYPE-10 LOGICAL RECORDS

AND LOGICAL RECORD FIELD LISTS FOR TYPE-2 (PHOTO) RECORDS

CSP 10.012 - COLORSPACE. This mandatory ASCII field shall contain the color space used to exchange the image. For compressed images, the preferred colorspace using baseline JPEG and JFIF is YcbCr2 to be coded as “YCC”. An entry of “GRAY” shall be used for all gray scale images. For uncompressed color images containing non-interleaved red, green, and blue pixels in that order, this field shall contain “RGB”. All other colorspaces are undefined.

DAT 10.999 - IMAGE DATA. This field shall contain all of the gray scale or color data from a face image. It shall begin with the ASCII identifier “10.999", and be followed by image data in a binary representation.

Each pixel of uncompressed gray scale data shall be quantized to eight bits (256 gray levels) contained in a single byte. Uncompressed color image data shall be expressed as 24-bit RGB pixels. The first byte shall contain the eight bits for the red component of the pixel, the second byte shall contain the eight bits for the green component of the pixel, and the third byte shall contain the last eight bits for the blue component of the pixel.

If compression is used, the pixel data shall be compressed in accordance with the compression technique specified in the CGA field. If the JPEG algorithm is to be used to compress the data, this field shall be encoded using the JFIF format specification.

CGA 10.011 - COMPRESSION ALGORITHM. This mandatory ASCII field shall specify the algorithm used to compress the color or gray scale image. An entry of “NONE” in the field indicates that the data contained in this record is uncompressed.

For those images that are to be compressed, the required method for the compression of facial images to the FBI is specified by the baseline mode of the JPEG algorithm formatted in accordance with the JPEG File Interchange Format, Version 1.02 (JFIF).1 An entry of “JPEGB” indicates that the scanned or captured image was compressed using baseline JPEG. An entry of “JPEGL” indicates that the lossless mode of the JPEG algorithm was used to compress the image. If the image is captured in gray scale, then only the luminescence component will be compressed and transmitted. When transmitting images to the FBI, the image(s) comprising the image set, that accompany the Ten-Print Criminal Submission, should average no larger than 40KB in size.

The FBI will maintain a registry of additional compression techniques and corresponding codes that may be used as they become available in the future.

HLL 10.006 - HORIZONTAL LINE LENGTH. This mandatory ASCII field shall contain the number of pixels contained on a single horizontal line of the transmitted image.

HPS 10.009 - HORIZONTAL PIXEL SCALE. This mandatory ASCII field shall specify the pixel density used in the horizontal direction providing the SLC contains a “1" or a “2".

Otherwise, it indicates the horizontal component of the pixel aspect ratio.

IDC 10.002 - IMAGE DESIGNATION CHARACTER. The Image Designation Character shall be a sequentially assigned positive integer starting from zero and increasing by one for each finger position, image, or Type-10 record present. Each IDC value matches a value in the Content (CNT) field of the Type-1 message header.

IMT 10.003 - IMAGE TYPE. This mandatory ASCII field is used to indicated the type of image contained in this record. It shall contain “FACE”, to indicate a face image. The content of this field shall conform to the requirements set forth by the agency to whom the transmission is being sent.

LEN 10.001 - LOGICAL RECORD LENGTH. This mandatory ASCII field shall contain the total count of the number of bytes in this Type-10 logical record. Field 10.001 shall begin with “10.001:", followed by the length of the record including every character of every field contained in the record and the information separators. The number of characters added to the record by the LEN field itself shall be included in calculating the value of LEN.

PHD 10.005 - PHOTO DATE. This mandatory ASCII field shall contain the date that the facial image contained in the record was captured. The date shall appear as eight digits in the format CCYYMMDD. The CCYY characters shall represent the year the image was captured; the MM characters shall be the tens and units values of the month; and the DD characters shall be the tens and units values of the day in the month. For example, 19960229 represents February 29, 1996. The complete date must be a legitimate date and shall not exceed the current date.

POA 10.021 - POSE OFFSET ANGLE. This field shall only be used for the exchange of facial image data if Field 10.020 (POS) contains an “A” to indicate an angled pose of the subject. For a full face or a profile this field should be omitted. This ASCII field specifies the pose position of the subject at any possible orientation within a circle. Its value shall be to a nearest degree. The offset angle shall be measured from the full-face pose position and have a range of values from -180 degrees to + 180 degrees. A positive angle is used to express the angular offset as the subject rotates from a full-face pose to their right (approaching a left profile). A negative angle is used to express the angular offset as the subject rotates from a full-face pose to their left (approaching a right profile). If the entry in the POS field is an “F”, “L”, or “R”, the contents of this field are ignored.

POS 10.020 - SUBJECT POSE. This is an optional field to be used for the exchange of facial image data. When included, this field shall contain a one ASCII character code selected from the list below to describe the pose of the subject. For the angled pose entry “A”, field 10.021 (POA) shall contain the offset angle from the full face orientation.

Full Face Frontal     F
Right Profile (90 degree)     R
Left Profile (90 degree)    L
Angled Pose    A

PXS 10.022 - PHOTO DESCRIPTION. This optional ASCII field shall be used for the exchange of facial image data. When present, it shall describe special attributes of the captured facial image. Attributes associated with the facial image may be selected from the following values and entered in this field.

Subject Wearing Glasses      GLASSES
Subject Wearing Hat            HAT
Subject Wearing Scarf         SCARF
Physical Characteristics        PHYSICAL
Other Characteristics           OTHER

Physical characteristics, such as “freckles” may be entered as a subfield consisting of two information items. The first is “PHYSICAL” followed by the US separator, followed by the characteristics as listed in Part 4 Section 13 of the NCIC Code Manual. The “OTHER” category is used to enter unlisted or miscellaneous attributes of the facial image. This information shall be entered as two information item subfield. This first is “OTHER” followed by the US separator, followed by the unformatted text used to describe the attribute. Multiple attributes and subfields may be listed but must be separated by the RS character.

SLC 10.008 - SCALE UNITS. This mandatory ASCII field shall specify the units used to describe the image sampling frequency (pixels density). A “1" in this field indicates pixels per inch. A “2" indicates pixels centimeter. A “0" in this field indicates no scale is given, for this case, the quotient of HPS/VPS give the pixel aspect ratio.

SRC 10.004 - SOURCE AGENCY/ORI. This mandatory ASCII field shall contain the identification of the administration or organization that originally captured the facial image contained in the record. Normally, the ORI of the agency that captured the image will be contained in this field. The size and data content of this field shall be denied by the user and be in accordance with the receiving agency.

VLL 10.007 - VERTICAL LINE LENGTH. This mandatory ASCII shall contain the number of horizontal lines contained in the transmitted image.

VPS 10.010 - VERTICAL PIXEL SCALE. This mandatory ASCII field shall specify the pixel density used in the vertical direction providing the SLC contains a “1" or a “2". Otherwise , it indicates the vertical component of the pixel aspect ratio.
