    "title": "NIST Fingerprint Image Registration Library (NFRL). Registers a pair of fingerprint images using two pairs of control-points (pixel locations).  Registration is rigid; translation and rotation are performed without scaling.",
    "description": "NFRL registers two fingerprint images based on a pair of corresponding control-points. It uses this control-point\npair of pixel locations within the images to translate and rotate the Moving image to the Fixed image.\nRuntime configuration parameters include:\n\n* moving and fixed image data in 8-bits-per-pixel grayscale (preferable but not required)\n\n* two-pairs of corresponding control points (pixel coordinates).\n\nThe fingerprint-image rigid-registration process is performed in two steps:\n\n1. Translation of the Moving image to the Fixed image using the \"first\" pair of control-points (the unconstrained pair)\n\n2. Rotation of the Moving image around the Fixed image control-point (the translation \"target\" location) based on the\nangle-difference determined by the \"second\" pair of control-points (the constrained pair).\n\nBoth final images, a few interim images, and registration metadata generated during the registration process\nare made available to the using software:\n\n* Final registered Moving image\n\n* Final registered Fixed image\n\n* Registered, padded, overlaid image (colorized)\n\n* Registered, padded, Moving image (grayscale)\n\n* Padded, Fixed image (grayscale)\n\n* Summed, registered, dilated overlaid image (the \"blob\")\n\n* Process metadata available in both text and XML format.\n\nThe two Final images are registered.  They are cropped to the region-of-interest that is the smallest area of \"overlap\"\nper the registration.  Therefore, these two images have identical width and height which enables analysis using metrics\nlike PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio).",
