Abstract / scope
This document establishes the following items for any or all biometric sample types as necessary:
— terms and definitions that are useful in the specification and use of quality measures;
— purpose and interpretation of biometric quality scores;
— motivation for developing biometric sample datasets for the purpose of quality score normalization;
— format for exchange of quality assessment algorithm results;
— methods for aggregation of quality scores;
— methods for evaluating the efficiency of quality assessment algorithms.
The following are outside the scope of this document:
— specification of minimum requirements for sample, module, or system quality scores;
— standardization of quality assessment algorithms;
— assessment of utility of biometric samples or references for human examiners.
