scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 19795 prescribes methods for technology and scenario evaluations of multi-supplier biometric systems that use biometric data conforming to biometric data interchange format standards. It specifies requirements needed to assess - performance available from samples formatted according to a standard interchange format (SIF), - performance available when samples formatted according to a SIF are exchanged, - performance available from samples formatted according to a SIF, relative to proprietary data formats, - SIF interoperability, by quantifying cross-product performance relative to single-product performance, - performance available from multi-sample and multimodal data formatted according to one or more SIFs, and - performance interoperability of biometric capture devices. In addition, - this part of ISO/IEC 19795 - includes procedures for establishing an interoperable set of implementations, - defines procedures for testing interoperability with previously established sets of implementations, and - gives testing procedures for the measurement of interoperable performance. It does not - establish a conformance test for biometric data interchange formats, or - provide test procedures for online data collection.
