First large-scale evaluation of iris recognition under way
August 11, 2005The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced that it is running the Iris Challenge Evaluation (ICE), the first large-scale evaluation of iris recognition.
Iris recognition is a potentially valuable biometric (a characteristic such as fingerprints that can be used to identify a person). Previous evaluations of iris recognition have concentrated on the performance of systems. The ICE is the first evaluation designed to measure the accuracy of the underlying technology that makes iris recognition possible.
The goals of the ICE are to (1) promote the development and advancement of iris recognition and (2) assess the technology's current level of performance. This will be accomplished in two phases.
Phase I-which will be conducted from now until the end of the year-will seek researchers and developers from industry, research institutions and academia who interested in participating in iris recognition "challenge problems." Taking part in these "challenge problems" (designed to promote technology development) will give participants the opportunity to improve their current performance rates and help prepare them for ICE Phase II.
Phase II-tentatively scheduled for the first quarter of 2006-will give iris recognition system developers an opportunity to take part in a large-scale, independent evaluation. To guarantee accurate assessments, the ICE will measure iris matching performance with sequestered data (iris images not previously seen by the participants). A standard dataset and test methodology will be employed so that all participants are evaluated evenly.

Light at the speed of a bicycle and much more
The speed of light, 300 million metres per second, was long thought an immutable constant and has defined our understanding of matter and energy but recent research in the area of optics and photonics is proving that we can manipulate light to some ingenious and hugely lucrative ends.
Knobbly kneed ID
Forget LED thumb-pad identification devices, complex retinal laser scanning, or even computerized iris recognition, the way forward for biometric validation is a quick X-ray snapshot of a person's knees, according to a report published in the International Journal of Biometrics.

Iris Recognition: A Machine Learning Approach by Kaushik Roy (Author), Prabir Bhattacharya (Author) The increasing demand for enhanced security in the daily life has directed the improvement of the reliable and intelligent personal identification system based on biometrics. Iris recognition has been regarded as one of the most reliable biometrics technologies in recent years. In this book, an iris recognition scheme is presented as a biometrically based technology for person identification using Multi-Class Support Vector Machines (SVM). The Multi- Objectives Genetic Algorithms (MOGA) is used to select the most significant features in order to increase the matching accuracy. The traditional SVM is modified into an asymmetrical SVM to treat the cases of False Accept and False Reject differently and also to control the unbalanced data of a specific class with... |

IRIS Pen II Executive Scanner by IRIS The IRISPen II is a pen-sized scanner that allows you to enter data (text, numbers, bar codes and handwritten numbers) into any Mac OS and Windows applications. What you get is real editable text, right at the cursor position. You save time and you even enjoy that tedious data-entry. Simply slide the IRISPen over the text you want in your application!With up to 1000 characters recognized per second the IRISPen beats all other forms of retyping, it is best suited for small pieces of text, tables etc where a traditional scanner and OCR software takes more time. Instead of retyping text with the IRISPen you just need to scan the information and that's it you need to do nothing else. The scanned information is instantly entered in the Windows/Mac OS application that you are using right at the... |

Readiris Pro 7.0 by I.R.I.S. With the Readiris Pro series, I.R.I.S. has taken a quick, accurate OCR program and given it the ability to detect page layout and reproduce images. Readiris Pro 7.0 does a decent job at what it's supposed to do, but it's not without a fair number of flaws and flukes. The problems for us started with installation. Readiris Pro didn't recognize our Microtek flatbed scanner when we went through the otherwise handy setup wizard. It did, however, when we asked it to check out our TWAIN drivers through the File menu. When we were further plagued, this time by error dialogs, we were told by I.R.I.S. tech support that XP users need a patch, which is available through the cluttered I.R.I.S. Web site. Readiris Pro, like any OCR program, scans a document and then imports it into a word... |

Face, Expression, and Iris Recognition Using Learning-based Approaches by Guodong Guo (Author) This book investigates the problem of facial image analysis. Human faces contain a lot of information that is useful for many applications. For instance, the face and iris are important biometric features for security applications. Facial activity analysis such as face expression recognition is helpful for perceptual user interfaces. Developing new methods to improve recognition performance, in terms of face, iris, and facial expression, is a major concern in the presentation. |
