| Description: |
A NIST software program assigns a scanned fingerprint with a quality level ranging from 1 for a high-quality print to 5 for an unusable print. Everyone's fingerprints fit into only a few basic patterns, "loops," "whorls," "arches," and "tents." This colorized fingerprint is a whorl pattern.
