What does fingerprint data look like?

Question

Hi,

Are there any datasets of digitized data from fingerprints (not-images)? Basically, we're planning an application that works on fingerprint data and wondering if the output by fingerprint readers are standardized and if so, are there some reference sets / data sheets we can look at

Here's the United States FBI Biometrics website.

I found the NIST ITL American National Standards for Biometrics. The Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint Facial, & Other Biometric Information – Part 1 is a 164 page pdf file. It's NIST Special Publication 500-271.

The Data Format for the Interchange of Fingerprint Facial, & Other Biometric Information – Part 2 is a 464 page pdf file. It's NIST Special Publication 500-275.

NIST is the (United States) National Institute of Standards and Technology.
