National bodies that are membe
11、rs of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international orga
12、nizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IE
13、C Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 %
14、 of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC 19794-6 was prepared by Joint Technical Commi
15、ttee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 37, Biometrics. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 19794-6:2005), which has been technically revised.

This part o
18、f ISO/IEC 19794 contains a specific definition of attributes, a data record format for storing and transmitting the iris image and certain attributes, and conformance criteria. Currently, exchange of iris information between equipment from different vendors can be done using images of the eye. While
19、 some applications can successfully operate with full size uncompressed rectilinear images, there are others for which this is expensive with respect to storage and bandwidth. To provide interoperability among vendors, this part of ISO/IEC 19794 also defines compact representations of the human iris
20、. This part of ISO/IEC 19794 revises ISO/IEC 19794-6:2005 for interoperable iris data formats. The revision has focused mainly on three sets of issues: (1) compact image data formats; (2) acceptable compression targets and algorithms; and (3) specification of data to be included in records and recor
21、d headers in coordination with harmonization efforts across all the parts of ISO/IEC 19794, replacing the former header structures. Before this revision, the standard iris image format was a 307 kB image array (640 x 480), with optional JPEG compression (ISO/IEC 10918), but the recommended maximum c
22、ompression factor was set arbitrarily at 6:1 (ISO/IEC 19794-6:2005, A.1.6). Meanwhile, academic papers appeared 5 showing that the 307 kB image size could be reduced by about a factor of 150:1, to around 2 kB, with minimal impairment, provided that JPEG2000 (ISO/IEC 15444) was the compression algori
23、thm used, not JPEG (ISO/IEC 10918), and also that cropping and region-of-interest masking was used. Small payload storage devices (e.g. ISO/IEC 7816 smartcard), and limited bandwidth transmission protocols, mandated that iris images be reduced to a few kB. ISO/IEC 19794-6:2005 had attempted to provi
24、de for this by polar sampling of iris pixels, but vulnerabilities and defects in polar methods were pointed out and so in January 2008, WG3 voted to remove the old polar formats. NIST offered to undertake an extensive, independent, empirical investigation of various proposals and compressibility cla
25、ims, producing in late 2009 the Interoperable Iris Exchange (“IREX-1”) Report 8. The new image data formats in this part of ISO/IEC 19794 are based empirically on the IREX-1 conclusions. In addition to the two new compact formats, iris images are also amenable to lossless compression. The lossless P
26、NG standard, ISO/IEC 15948, may be applied to preserve completely the iris texture while affording iris image sizes in the range of 20 kB to 70 kB, well below those achievable for uncompressed images. In addition, Annex A, when published as Amendment 1 of this part of ISO/IEC 19794, will include nor
27、mative assertions for testing conformance of iris image records. Annex B of this part of ISO/IEC 19794 gives recommendations on iris image capture. While the data structure advanced here is syntactically incompatible with the previous version, software implementations can differentiate the records b

29、ge formats for biometric enrolment, verification and identification systems. The image information might be stored as an array of intensity values optionally comp ressed with ISO/IEC 15948 or ISO/IEC 15444, or an array of intensity values optionally compre ssed with ISO/IEC 15948 or ISO/IEC 15444 th
30、at might be cropped around the iris, with the iris at the centre, and which might incorporate region-of-interest masking of non-iris regions. This part of ISO/IEC 19794 does not establish requirements on the optical spec ifications of cameras, or requirements on photometric prope rties of iris image
31、s, or requirements on enrolment processes, workflow and use of iris equipment. 2 Conformance A biometric data record conforms to this part of ISO/IEC 19794 if it satisfies all of the normative requirements related to its data structure, data values and the relationships between its data elements, as
32、 specified throughout Clause 7 of this part of ISO/IEC 19794, and the relation ship between its data values and the input biometric data from which the biometric data record was generated, as specified throughout Clause 6 of this part of ISO/IEC 19794. A system that produces biometric data records i

A system does not need to be capable of producing biometric data
34、 records that cover all possible aspects of this part of ISO/IEC 19794, but only those that are claimed to be supported by the system in the ICS. The test for output record conformance shall be conducted in accordance with the normative content of Annex A. A system that uses biometric data records i

A system does not need to be capable of using biomet

When written as an ordered pair, the order is (horizontal, vertical). EXAMPLE (0,6R, 0,2R) indicates that for an iris radius of R,

These
47、requirements relate to the geometric structure, pre-processing, compression protocol, format, and dimensions of the image data. (Guidance on iris image capture is given in Annex B.) Image data may be uncompressed or compressed. If uncompressed then it shall be represented as a two-dimensional array
48、of monochrome pixels, organised in row-major order, with the lowest address corresponding to the upper left corner of the image. All uncompressed raw images shall have an 8 bit pixel depth. Images having a pixel depth other than 8 bits shall be encoded using PNG or JPEG2000. The remaining subclauses
49、 of clause 6 group these requirements according to the type of image. As shown in Table 1, four image types are defined according to a hierarchy inherited from an unconstrained abstract basic iris image. The associated type values are provided in clause 7.4.1. The requirements of clause 7 establish the encoding specifications for the image and its associated metadata. NOTE The specifications of image type
