What is OODPCVS in IEC 62676-4:2025?

OODPCVS is the seven-step pixel-density ladder introduced in IEC 62676-4:2025 alongside the legacy four-step DORI ladder. The steps — Overview (20 px/m), Outline (40), Discern (80), Perceive (125), Characterise (250), Validate (500) and Scrutinise (1500) — give procurement teams finer-grained targets for tasks ranging from situational awareness to passport-grade biometric capture.

Does OODPCVS replace DORI?

No. The classic DORI thresholds (25 / 62.5 / 125 / 250 px/m) remain valid and are still cited by most pre-2025 specifications and many national tenders. OODPCVS is a parallel, more granular ladder. New EU and CENELEC tenders published from 2026 onwards increasingly specify OODPCVS levels in addition to (or instead of) DORI.

How do I calculate OODPCVS distance?

The optics math is identical to DORI: D = horizontal_pixels / (2 × required_px-per-metre × tan(HFOV/2)). Only the px/m threshold per step changes. This calculator runs the formula for all seven OODPCVS levels in parallel.

What threshold do I need for facial verification?

OODPCVS Validate (500 px/m) is the threshold most national procurement bodies will accept for facial or licence-plate verification in 2026 tenders citing IEC 62676-4:2025. The looser DORI Identify (250 px/m) remains sufficient for legacy specs.

When should I plan to Scrutinise (1500 px/m)?

Scrutinise is reserved for passport-grade biometric capture — border control e-gates, high-security ID issuance points, forensic interview rooms. It implies very long focal lengths or extremely close target distances, and is almost never specified outside critical-infrastructure projects.

Passport-grade biometric capture

With a 1080p camera on a 1/2.8" sensor and a 4.0 mm lens, OODPCVS Characterise (250 px/m, ≈ DORI Identify) is reachable up to 5.7 m. Beyond that you drop to Perceive — read posture but cannot reliably identify the person.

Čo je OODPCVS?

OODPCVS je 7-stupňový rebrík hustoty pixelov zavedený normou IEC 62676-4:2025. Stojí vedľa starého 4-stupňového rebríka DORI (Detection, Observation, Recognition, Identification) a dáva tímom obstarávania jemne granulované ciele pokrytia — vrátane úrovní nad DORI Identify na overenie obličaja a biometriu na úrovni pasov.

Overview (20 px/m) — situational awareness, motion-only triggers.
Outline (40 px/m) — distinguish coarse object shapes.
Discern (80 px/m) — tell object categories apart (person vs. trolley).
Perceive (125 px/m) — read posture, gesture, behaviour. Equivalent to DORI Recognize.
Characterise (250 px/m) — identify a known person. Equivalent to DORI Identify.
Validate (500 px/m) — face or licence-plate verification suitable for evidentiary use.
Scrutinise (1500 px/m) — passport-grade biometric capture.

Základná matematika je totožná s DORI — pixely na meter na cieli — ale nový rebrík vám umožňuje špecifikovať pokrytie v troch až siedmich diskrétnych pásmach namiesto starých štyroch. Tendery citujúce IEC 62676-4:2025 čoraz viac vyžadujú úrovne OODPCVS okrem (alebo namiesto) DORI.
