Project 1645 - ISO/IEC 19795-2:2007, Information technology
- Biometric performance testing and reporting - Part 2: Testing methodologies
for technology and scenario evaluation
ISO/IEC 19795-2:2007 addresses two specific biometric performance
testing methodologies: technology and scenario evaluation. The large majority
of biometric tests are of one of these two generic evaluation types. Technology
evaluations evaluate enrolment and comparison algorithms by means of previously
collected corpuses, while scenario evaluations evaluate sensors and algorithms
by processing of samples collected from Test Subjects in real time. The former
is intended for generation of large volumes of comparison scores and candidate
lists indicative of the fundamental discriminating power of an algorithm.
The latter is intended for measurement of performance in modeled environments,
inclusive of Test Subject-system interactions.
