A set of instructions and rules for processing biometric samples ...

CONT

Biometric algorithms are automated methods that enable a biometric system to recognize an individual by his or her anatomical/behavioral traits. They consist of a sequence of automated operations performed by the system to verify or identify its ownership. These operations include quality assessment, enhancement, feature extraction, classification/indexing, matching and fusion, as well as compression algorithms, often used to reduce storage space and bandwidth.

OBS

The complete processing of biometric signals and data may involve: signal detection, segmentation, biometric feature extraction ..., quality assessment, biometric model generation, biometric template generation, comparison ..., biometric comparison decision ..., compression, decompression, etc.

OBS

biometric algorithm: designation and definition standardized by ISO in collaboration with the International Electrotechnical Commission.
