ISO/IEC 19795-4 (2008-05)

ISO/IEC 19795-4:2008 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, ISO/IEC 19795-4:2008
* 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.
