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.
