Face Recognition Format for Data Interchange This standard specifies definitions of photographic (environment, subject pose, focus, etc.) properties, digital image attributes and a face interchange format for relevant applications, including human examination and computer automated face recognition. Biometric data interchange formats - Part 5: Face image data ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005 specifies scene, photographic, digitization and format requirements for images of faces to be used in the context of both human verification and computer automated recognition. The approach to specifying scene and photographic requirements in this format is to carefully describe constraints on how a photograph should appear rather than to dictate how the photograph should be taken. The format is designed to allow for the specification of visible information discernable by an observer pertaining to the face, such as gender, pose and eye colour. The digital image format can be either ISO standard JPEG or JPEG2000. Finally, the 'best practice' appendices provide guidance on photo capture for travel documents and face recognition performance versus digital compression.

Cognitive Vision / Psychology / Neuroscience It is the general opinion that advances in computer vision research will provide useful insights to neuroscientists and psychologists into how human brain works, and vice versa. Psychology and neuroscience issues potentially interesting to face recognition system designers (according to Zhao et al. Survey, 2003) are: A.J. O'Toole, P.J. Phillips, F. Jiang, J. Ayyad, N.
