The data is within a temporal window and includes biometric data extracted from frames included in a video and quality feature values calculated for each frame. Each quality feature value corresponds to a different quality feature. Moreover, the method includes calculating a score for each different quality feature using the corresponding quality feature values, and determining a most recent frame included in the video includes biometric data usable in a biometric authentication matching transaction when the calculated score for each different quality feature satisfies a respective threshold score value.
