"""Generate NFIQ2-proxy quality scores using image heuristics. NFIQ2 is not available as a pip package and requires building from source. This script approximates it using: - Gabor filter energy at fingerprint ridge frequencies (8–16 px/cycle) - Block-wise local contrast (RMS of intensity) - Laplacian variance (sharpness) The three signals are fused and rescaled to [0, 100], matching NFIQ2 convention (higher = better quality). Scores are written as JSONL with the same schema expected by run_eval.py: {"image_path": "...", "q_score": 73.2} Usage (reads image paths from an existing scores file, e.g. sifq_scores.jsonl): python sifq/scripts/gen_nfiq2_proxy_scores.py \ --sifq-scores sifq/eval_results/sifq_scores.jsonl \ --output /tmp/nfiq2_scores.jsonl Or scan a directory directly: python sifq/scripts/gen_nfiq2_proxy_scores.py \ --image-dir dataset/302b/images/baseline \ --output /tmp/nfiq2_scores.jsonl """ from __future__ import annotations import argparse import json import sys from pathlib import Path import cv2 import numpy as np # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Quality features # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- def _gabor_energy(gray: np.ndarray, image_size: int = 224) -> float: """Mean Gabor filter energy at typical fingerprint ridge frequencies.""" img = cv2.resize(gray, (image_size, image_size)).astype(np.float32) / 255.0 total = 0.0 count = 0 for theta_deg in range(0, 180, 30): theta = np.deg2rad(theta_deg) # wavelength in pixels: 8–16 px for 500 dpi prints at 224px crops for wavelength in (8, 12, 16): sigma = wavelength * 0.56 kern = cv2.getGaborKernel( (31, 31), sigma, theta, wavelength, gamma=0.5, psi=0, ktype=cv2.CV_32F, ) filtered = cv2.filter2D(img, cv2.CV_32F, kern) total += float(np.mean(filtered ** 2)) count += 1 return total / count if count else 0.0 def _local_contrast(gray: np.ndarray, block: int = 16) -> float: """Mean RMS contrast over non-overlapping blocks.""" img = cv2.resize(gray, (224, 224)).astype(np.float32) h, w = img.shape vals = [] for r in range(0, h - block + 1, block): for c in range(0, w - block + 1, block): patch = img[r : r + block, c : c + block] vals.append(float(np.std(patch))) return float(np.mean(vals)) if vals else 0.0 def _laplacian_var(gray: np.ndarray) -> float: """Variance of Laplacian — sharpness metric.""" img = cv2.resize(gray, (224, 224)) lap = cv2.Laplacian(img, cv2.CV_64F) return float(np.var(lap)) def _quality_score(image_path: str) -> float | None: img = cv2.imread(image_path, cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE) if img is None: return None g_energy = _gabor_energy(img) contrast = _local_contrast(img) lap_var = _laplacian_var(img) # Combine: each signal contributes roughly equally after normalisation. # Raw typical ranges (empirical, 500-dpi fingerprints at 224 px): # g_energy ~[0.0001, 0.006] # contrast ~[5, 60] # lap_var ~[50, 3000] score = ( np.clip(g_energy / 0.006, 0.0, 1.0) * 0.40 + np.clip(contrast / 60.0, 0.0, 1.0) * 0.35 + np.clip(lap_var / 3000.0, 0.0, 1.0) * 0.25 ) return round(float(score) * 100.0, 2) # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # CLI # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- def parse_args() -> argparse.Namespace: p = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Generate NFIQ2-proxy quality scores") src = p.add_mutually_exclusive_group(required=True) src.add_argument( "--sifq-scores", type=str, help="Path to SIFQ scores JSONL; image paths are read from 'image_path' field", ) src.add_argument( "--image-dir", type=str, help="Root directory to scan recursively for .png/.bmp/.wsq images", ) p.add_argument("--output", type=str, default="/tmp/nfiq2_scores.jsonl") p.add_argument( "--extensions", type=str, default="png,bmp,wsq,jpg,jpeg", help="Comma-separated file extensions to scan (only with --image-dir)", ) return p.parse_args() def collect_paths(args: argparse.Namespace) -> list[str]: if args.sifq_scores: paths: list[str] = [] with open(args.sifq_scores, encoding="utf-8") as f: for line in f: line = line.strip() if line: paths.append(json.loads(line)["image_path"]) return paths # --image-dir exts = {f".{e.lstrip('.')}" for e in args.extensions.split(",")} return [ str(p) for p in Path(args.image_dir).rglob("*") if p.suffix.lower() in exts ] def main() -> None: args = parse_args() paths = collect_paths(args) print(f"Scoring {len(paths)} images → {args.output}") out = Path(args.output) out.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) skipped = 0 with out.open("w", encoding="utf-8") as fout: for i, p in enumerate(paths): score = _quality_score(p) if score is None: skipped += 1 continue fout.write(json.dumps({"image_path": p, "q_score": score}) + "\n") if (i + 1) % 1000 == 0: print(f" {i + 1}/{len(paths)} (skipped={skipped})") print(f"Done.
