In this article, a progressive fingerprint image compression (for storage or transmission) that uses an edge detection scheme is developed. First, the image is decomposed into two components: the primary component, which contains the edges, and the secondary component, which contains the textures and the features. Then, a general grasp for the image is reconstructed in the first stage at bit rates of 0.0223 and 0.0245 bpp for the tested fingerprints images (samples 1 and 2), respectively. The quality of the reconstructed images is competitive with the 0.75‐bpp target bit set by the FBI standard. Also, the compression ratio and the image quality of this algorithm are competitive with other methods reported in the literature. The compression ratio for our algorithm is about 45:1 (0.180 bpp). © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
