This paper describes the evolution of new wavelet and scaling numbers for optimized transforms that consistently outperform the 9/7 discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for fingerprint compression and reconstruction. The FBI fingerprint compression standard [2] is based upon the biorthogonal 9/7 wavelet filter pair developed in 1992 by Cohen, Daubechies, and Feauveau [3].
