Abstract

This paper focuses on the requirements for face images to be used in Machine Readable Travel Documents, defined in the ISO/IEC 19794-5 standard. In particular an evaluation framework is proposed for testing software able to automatically verify the compliance of an image to the standard. The results obtained for thee commercial software are reported and compared.
