1. Introduction
Titan Systems Corporation, DBA Systems Division (heretofore referred to as DBA
Systems) is pleased to submit a Time and Material Proposal to assist Digital
Descriptor Systems, Inc (DDSI) with obtaining the FBI's Integrated Automation
Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) IQS Appendix F Certification on the
CS3000 Live Scan System. Preliminary review of supplied imagery, hardware and
ancillary data has resulted in the belief that Appendix F Certification is
achievable. Even though we believe the unit is certifiable, our concerns suggest
the effort be phased to mitigate cost risk to DDSI. This proposal contains our
best estimate of the expected costs, recognizing however, that additional
funding and hours may be necessary if the required results are not obtained
within the scoped effort. DBA Systems is required to gain authorization from
DDSI for any out of scope effort.
DBA Systems has been associated with precision image scanning systems for twenty
years and would be pleased to work with DDSI on CS3000 Certification. The
personnel associated with the program have been affiliated with Precision Law
Enforcement, Aerial, Non-Destructive Test and Medical Scanning Systems for
greater than 20 years. We feel we have the expertise necessary to obtain
certification with minimal Cost and Design changes.
The next section provides a Statement-of-Work (SOW) for two consecutive phases
toward CS3000 certification. Sufficient detail is provided to ensure mutual
understanding of the proposed tasks. Section 3 lists the Customer Furnished
Equipment (CFE) that will be required during the course of the program. Section
4 summarizes the corresponding costs, labor and materials associated with each
phase of the program. At the completion of Phase 1, the associated effort for
the subsequent phase(s) will be reevaluated to maximize visibility and minimize
cost risk.
This effort will be performed within DBA Systems Division, Melbourne facility.
Phase 1 is expected to last approximately 7 weeks. Phase 2 is potentially more
complex and will last about 8 weeks. This ensures sufficient time for CS3000
review, modification, data submittal and certification.
It should be noted that this proposal is chiefly concerned with certification of
a demonstration unit and recognizes that additional design changes may be
required to provide a true operational product. The tasks and cost associated
with designing a manufacturable product are not within the scope of this
proposal but DBA Systems desires to maintain a role in the design, development
and manufacturing of such a product if certification and market conditions
warrant it.
2. Statement of Work
Phase 1 of the program has three main objectives.
The First Objective is to develop a plan for establishing IQS Appendix F
acceptance criteria for the CS3000 device with Mitre and the FBI. This will
include development of a test document that describes the tests, methodology,
and acceptance criteria and as necessary a technical explanation of the test
legitimacy. The test document will be submitted to DDSI for review and upon
mutual agreement, DBA will submit it to Mitre and the FBI for evaluation. DBA
will confer with ▇▇▇▇▇ and the FBI, and rework the document as required, until
an agreement for acceptance is reached.
The Second Objective is to characterize the system with regard to physical and
systematic capability. This effort, which will be performed in parallel with
objective 1, will support determining the capabilities and limitation within the
CS3000. Specifically, the following will be determined:
a. Camera to Camera Physical Relationships to support geometric and
stitching capability/limitations
b. Individual Cameras Field of View (FOV) & Depth of Field with the
given optics to support geometric and MTF capability/limitations
The Third Objective will be to incorporate an Illumination Test Jig and
potentially diffuse the current illumination system to improve illumination
uniformity. Improved Illumination Uniformity should provide the following:
a. Ridge data being distinguishable over the entire FOV for each
individual camera. This will enable the resultant imagery to
correlate directly with existing databases generated with inked
based capture devices (i.e. FBI).
b. Improved viewing of ridge information (i.e. pores, junctions) by the
user especially across the boundary between the two imaging cameras.
c. Determination of Illumination Uniformity and Signal to Noise Ratio
(SNR) with regard to the IAFIS requirement
d. Improved ability to refine the system capability with regard to
Image Stitching, Geometry and MTF
The Fourth Objective in Phase 1 is familiarization with the post processing
algorithms to gain insight into algorithm performance under different image
capture conditions. Understanding the processes will provide the following:
a. Knowledge of the Histogram Equalization Process will aid in
determining the contrast sensitivity and limits within the system.
b. Knowledge of the Projection Algorithm will aid in determining
geometric accuracy and potentially image quality (i.e. forward or
reverse image mapping).
c. Knowledge of the Stitching Algorithm will aid in determining the
geometric accuracy and potential impacts to System MTF.
The objective upon completion of Phase 1 will be Uniformity & SNR compliance to
the requirement. In addition, Geometric and MTF capability will be understood
sufficiently prior to Phase 2 commencement. At this point, complete review of
the test results will be performed and a report written that describes and
summarizes the findings. A review will be held with DDSI to determine how best
to proceed.
Phase 2 of the program is associated with Image Stitching and Certification of
Geometry and MTF. Preliminary review of the CS3000 Systems MTF, Depth of Field,
Spatial Resolution and Collimating Grid Projector Spacing indicates that
Appendix F Certification is feasible. Based upon ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇'s comments, we believe
it will be necessary to generate a couple of cylindrical test fixtures that the
Ronchi and MTF Targets can be mounted to during image capture. Utilization of
this methodology will verify the accuracy of post processing algorithms,
systematic performance, calibration gird, etc. It is currently believed that for
data submittal to the FBI, supporting technical information will be necessary to
establish a high level of confidence that the system and algorithms perform as
required. Familiarization with the algorithms at this time will minimize
schedule and performance risk during the FBI's review of the CS3000 System's
test data results. The results of Phase 2 will be:
a. Submittal and support of Geometric Data for certification
b. Submittal and support of MTF Data for certification
c. A Final Report to DDSI summarizing the program
The above efforts do assume that the basic algorithms and hardware are adequate
to support certification of the CS3000. Hardware changes will be made, where
feasible, to improve system performance. This proposal does not include any
level of effort for software development by DBA Systems engineers. Changes to
Post Processing Algorithms, if required, are assumed to be the responsibility of
DDSI with DBA Systems providing recommendations. However, DBA Systems can
support algorithm development with additional funding and the approval of DDSI.
Status Reporting and Billing
DBA Systems will provide a brief weekly status update, via email, that will
include a summary of the tasks worked or completed and the number of hours
charged to the job (by labor category). On a monthly basis, DBA Systems will
provide a billing statement for services rendered during that period.
