本文件对生物识别领域中与人类识别相关的概念进行了系统描述。本文件还将现有生物识别国际标准中使用的变体术语与首选术语进行了协调，从而澄清了该领域术语的使用。 本文件不涵盖信息技术、模式识别、生物学、数学等领域的概念（以术语表示）。生物特征识别将这些知识领域作为基础。 原则上，特定于模式的术语不在本文件的范围内。

This document establishes a systematic description of the concepts in the field of biometrics pertaining to recognition of human beings. This document also reconciles variant terms in use in pre-existing International Standards on biometrics against the preferred terms, thereby clarifying the use of terms in this field. This document does not cover concepts (represented by terms) from information technology, pattern recognition, biology, mathematics, etc. Biometrics uses such fields of knowledge as a basis. In principle, mode-specific terms are outside of scope of this document.
