What is ISO/IEC 39794‑17 about?
ISO/IEC 39794‑16 is the 17th part of an international standard that discusses the extensible biometric data interchange formats.
ISO/IEC 39794‑17 specifies examples of application-specific requirements, recommendations, and best practices in data acquisition applicable to gait image sequence data.
ISO/IEC 39794‑17 typical applications include:
- Support for human examination of high-resolution video and still images
- Support for human biometric verification and identification based on video and still images
- Automated gait image sequence verification and identification
ISO/IEC 39794‑17 ensures that image sequences are suitable for human identification and human verification generated by video surveillance and other similar systems.
Who is ISO/IEC 39794‑17 for?
ISO/IEC 39794‑17 on gait image sequence data is useful for:
- Forensic laboratories
- Healthcare department
- High-security zones
- IT companies
- Government agencies
- Biometric device manufacturer companies
Why should you use ISO/IEC 39794‑17?
There is little guidance covering gait imaging for cross-border interoperability or law enforcement services. There is a need for guidance for the use of high-quality digital cameras and video surveillance devices to record gait image sequence data.
ISO/IEC 39794‑17 gives you gait image sequence data standardization to help you achieve the threshold quality gait image database records required for automated gait biometric verification and identification. The users such as border guards record gait videos using local practices for gait biometric enrolment, which helps them for verification and identification.
ISO/IEC 39794‑17 is primarily focused on travel documents, related border control systems, the technical and operational issues to be considered when planning and deploying them. It helps you to enable applications on a wide variety of devices, including devices that have limited data storage. It addresses not only data format, but also scene constraints, photographic properties, and digital image attributes, to improve biometric recognition accuracy.
ISO/IEC 39794‑17 is intended to provide advice on the use of body image data for gait and upper body movement recognition applications requiring an exchange of gait image sequence data and upper body movement data.
