fingerprint
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| fingerprint classification | a procedure in which fingerprints are grouped in a consistent and reliable way, so that different impressions of a same finger fall into a same group. |
| ridge characteristics(Galtons details) | ridge endings, bifurcation, enclosures and other ridge details which must match in two fingerprints to establish their common origin |
| invisible fingerprints | those not readily seen but that can be developed through powders or chemicals |
| inked fingerprint | |
| latent fingerprint | print impressions caused by perspiration on the ridges of the fingers being transferred to a surface or occurring as residues of oil, dirt, or grease |
| patent(plastic) fingerprint | fingerprints that are easily spotted without the use of magnesium powders, ultra violet lights or chemicals that might assist in the visualization of such a print. |
| arches | ridges flow in one side and flow out the opposite side. There are no deltas in an arch pattern. |
| loops | a loop class of fingerprints characterized by ridge lines that enter from one side of the patter and curve around the exit from the same side of the pattern |
| whorls | something that whirls, coils, or spirals or whose form suggests such movement |
| voice prints | graphic record of an individual's voice characteristics made by a sound spectrograph that records energy patterns emitted by speech |
| scientific basis of fingerprint identification | |
| A.F.I.S | the automated fingerprint identification system is a bio-metric identification (ID) methodology that uses digital imaging technology to obtain, store, and analyze fingerprint data. |
| dissimilarity | the difference in the fingerprints |
| discrepancy | a lack of similarity between two facts or objects |
| dactylography | the impression on a surface of the curves formed by the ridges on a fingertip; especially, such an impression made in ink and used as a means of identification |
| core | the most important part of something |
| individualization | the development of individual traits |
| class one/level one detail | |
| class two/level two detail | |
| class three/level three detail | |
| ace-v | a scientific method in the comparison and identification of friction ridge impressions |
