This workshop will present an update on the latest development on Face Image Quality.

This update will address through talks and panel discussions the following topics:

  • current state of the art of face image quality metrics
  • experience from stakeholder and requirements
  • introduction of training concepts
  • testing program (FRVT)
  • standardisation process

The NIST and the ISO/IEC SC37 WG3 are dedicated to promote ISO/IEC 29794-5.
