ITU-T Recommendations

Recommendation ITU-T X.1095 defines an entity authentication infrastructure for pet animals using telebiometrics. It specifies multimodal telebiometrics, which uses nose patterns and faces of pet animals. This Recommendation is applicable in various pet animal services such as registration, insurance and e-health care for pet animals. Entity authentication for pet animals is always performed in a non-cooperative environment, therefore it is necessary to define criteria for acquiring suitable multimodal telebiometrics for pet entity authentication. There are also requirements for devices that acquire multimodal telebiometrics, and architecture in the operating platform for stable multimodal telebiometric applications for pet animals.
This Recommendation specifies functional requirements for biometric capture devices and data acquisition of biometrics for pet entity authentication. A platform architecture, performance testing methodology and privacy issues are also defined.
The following topics are addressed in the scope of this Recommendation:
–Pet animals cover dogs and cats;
–Multimodal telebiometrics cover nose patterns and faces;
–Biometric capture devices cover digital cameras, mobile cameras, specific cameras such as infrared cameras, high-speed cameras and optical scanners.
