this Standard is still active

This part of ISO/IEC 19794 specifies iris image interchange formats for biometric enrolment, verification and identification systems. The image information might be stored as

 an array of intensity values optionally compressed with ISO/IEC 15948 or ISO/IEC 15444, or

 an array of intensity values optionally compressed with ISO/IEC 15948 or ISO/IEC 15444 that might be cropped around the iris, with the iris at the centre, and which might incorporate region-of-interest masking of non-iris regions.

 

This part of ISO/IEC 19794 does not establish

 requirements on the optical specifications of cameras, or

 requirements on photometric properties of iris images, or

 requirements on enrolment processes, workflow and use of iris equipment.

 

 

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of the respective international standards being proposed for adoption. To maintain alignment between Canadian information and communication technology standards and each respective international standard
