Face image quality inspection system according to ISO standard

Poor quality of face images is one of the reasons leading towards face recognition performance degradation. Therefore, this gives the motivation to have an International Standard (ISO/IEC 19794-5 Document) to provide guidelines for the usage of proper facial photographs for applications such as the...
