1 Scope
This document provides an overview of the current deployment of biometric systems
within Europe. It addresses the challenges that are being faced, in order to detect
the current needs for improving the specifications for the implementation and deployment
of biometric systems. This document considers all kind of deployments, from border
control to ad hoc services. As most of the deployed systems are based on the use of
fingerprints or face recognition, this document will focus on these two biometric
modalities, from the system integrator and interoperability points of view.
Identity documents, in terms of production, structure, interoperability, etc., are
out of the scope of this document. The document is focused on the performance at system
level.
The current European legislative initiatives around this topic (e.g. Entry/Exit System,
framework for interoperability between EU information systems, etc.) need a robust
framework study about the availability of standard technologies to improve interoperability
in biometric products around the European Union.
By showing these needs, a set of recommendations for future standardization works
is provided.
From a methodological perspective, the report gathers information of different entities
with this classification:
— Capture/enrolment of biometrics including the quality assurance and the generation
of feature or biometric models from the images.
— Best practices ...
