Aware WSQ1000

Aware WSQ1000 is a software development kit (SDK) that provides the most powerful, FBI-certified implementation of the WSQ compression algorithm for fingerprint images. This wavelet-based compression standard was designed and specified by the FBI to compress 500 ppi grayscale fingerprint images. Additionally, Aware WSQ1000 includes JPEG 2000 compression for 1000 ppi images and allows for efficient transcoding between WSQ and JPEG 2000.

Aware WSQ1000 is an SDK providing the industry’s highest-performing, FBI-certified implementation of the WSQ compression algorithm for fingerprint images. WSQ (Wavelet Scalar Quantization) is a wavelet-based compression standard designed and specified by the FBI for compression of high-resolution, 500 ppi grayscale fingerprint images. Aware WSQ1000 includes JPEG 2000 compression for 1000 ppi images and efficient transcoding between WSQ and JPEG 2000.
