Definition

Standard that defines a common format to code information related to hand geometry based biometrics. This format is defined to allow interoperability among different vendors worldwide, and has been developed by the international community taking part in ISO/IEC JTC1/SC37 standardization subcommittee.

Introduction

Subcommittee SC37 from ISO/IEC JTC1 deals with the standardization of biometrics. Among SC37 Working Group 3 is devoted to define Interchange Data Formats for biometric modalities, among other duties. For that purpose, a multipart standard is under development, and it is referred to by the number ISO/IEC 19794. Part 10 of the multipart standard covers hand geometry biometrics, and is denoted ISO/IEC 19794-10. The full title is “Information technology - Biometric data interchange formats - Part 10: Hand geometry silhouette data”[1].

This International Standard provides a data interchange format,...
