Face Recognition Format for Data Interchange
This standard specifies definitions of photographic (environment, subject pose, focus, etc.) properties, digital image attributes and a face interchange format for relevant applications, including human examination and computer automated face recognition.
Biometric data interchange formats - Part 5: Face image data
ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005 specifies scene, photographic, digitization and format requirements for images of faces to be used in the context of both human verification and computer automated recognition. The approach to specifying scene and photographic requirements in this format is to carefully describe constraints on how a photograph should appear rather than to dictate how the photograph should be taken. The format is designed to allow for the specification of visible information discernable by an observer pertaining to the face, such as gender, pose and eye colour. The digital image format can be either ISO standard JPEG or JPEG2000. Finally, the 'best practice' appendices provide guidance on photo capture for travel documents and face recognition performance versus digital compression.

Cognitive Vision / Psychology / Neuroscience
It is the general opinion that advances in computer vision research will provide useful insights to neuroscientists and psychologists into how human brain works, and vice versa. Psychology and neuroscience issues potentially interesting to face recognition system designers (according to Zhao et al. Survey, 2003) are:
- is face recognition a dedicated process?
- is face perception the result of holistic or feature analysis?
- ranking of significance of facial features;
- caricatures;
- distinctiveness;
- the role of spatial frequency analysis;
- view-point invariant recognition?
- effect of lighting change;
- movement and face recognition;
- facial expression.
We would like to encourage this kind of interdisciplinary approach. Here are some recent papers linking two areas and some psychology- and neuroscience-based face recognition papers.
