Abstract

Iris recognition standards are open specifications for iris cameras, iris image properties, and iris image records. Biometric data standards are a necessity for applications in which a consumer of a data record must process biometric input from an arbitrary producer. The archetype for standard iris storage formats has been the flight of standards already developed for the storage of biometric data on electronic passports.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For iris recognition, the electronic passport’s logical data structure specification includes an analogous container, DG4, that will hold an ISO/IEC 19794-6 iris image record. To date, this has not been widely utilized.
