Full Description

The purpose of BS PD ISO/IEC TR 29189:2015 is to identify and characterize those aspects of performance testingthat are unique to examiner assisted biometric applications.

An examiner assisted biometric system has the following characteristics: reliant on the interaction and skill of a human examiner for one or more stages of the completebiometric process, be it data capture, enrolment, template generation, or final decision; can incorporate identification functionality, verification functionality, or both; will use a combination of the examiner's input and the functionality of the biometric algorithm toexecute the complete biometric process; will likely have inbuilt examination toolsets to assist the human examiner when enrolling biometricsamples or when comparing the match results provided by the biometric algorithm.Although there is a wide variation in the use of the term "examiner" in the context of an "examinerassisted biometric system", as defined in this Technical Report, an "examiner" typically has the followingcharacteristics: field expert in the biometric modality being exploited; trained to use the system to an advanced degree of proficiency; authorized to override the biometric system's decisions in particular when accepting or rejecting amatch decision based on their own examination of the biometric samples and the results returned.Assessing an examiner's level of expertise is excluded from the scope of this Technical Report. However,the skill of the examiner does have a major bearing on system performance and vice versa. Measuringor assessing the ability of an examiner to employ their skills might be necessary to properly evaluate theperformance of an examiner-assisted system.

Other individuals, such as administrative users, or subjects whose biometrics are used within thesystem are not considered in this Technical Report. It is outside the scope of this Technical Report toconsider non-expert examiners.
