International Biometric Group Delivers Iris Recognition Test Report to the US Department of Homeland Security
Extensive evaluation of iris recognition accuracy, interoperability, and usability.
(PRWEB) June 15, 2005 -- International Biometric Group announces the delivery
of the Independent Testing of Iris Recognition Technology (ITIRT) Final Report
to the US Department of Homeland Security. The ITIRT Final Report presents
results from a groundbreaking evaluation of iris recognition accuracy,
interoperability, and usability.
The ITIRT Final Report can be
downloaded at www.biometricgroup.com/ITIRT.
Iris recognition has
become an increasingly viable solution for border control, immigration,
registered traveler, access control, and national ID initiatives. ITIRT
represents the largest independently-conducted test of iris recognition executed
to date. Prior to ITIRT, independently-generated data on iris recognition
performance – a critical deployment consideration – was limited to results from
small-scale tests.
ITIRT evaluated performance of the following
state-of-the-art iris recognition hardware and software:
* Iridian KnoWho
OEM SDK
* LG IrisAccess 3000
* Oki IRISPASS-WG
* Panasonic
BM-ET300
More than 100,000 iris images were acquired through ITIRT
devices over a several-week period. Dozens of images were acquired from each of
1288 subjects varying in age and ethnicity. From this data, over 2 billion data
points were generated for analysis. ITIRT presents results essential to a full
understanding of biometric performance, including the following:
* False
accept and false reject rates
* Failure to enroll and failure to acquire
rates
* Transaction duration and level of effort
* Performance over time
The Report also examines interoperability across iris recognition
devices, a critical consideration for many deployers. Images from each iris
recognition device were cross-compared to determine whether images captured
through a given device could be matched against those captured through a
different device.
The Report further examines whether certain test
subjects are more likely than others to be falsely accepted or rejected by iris
recognition devices, and whether failed enrollments occur across multiple
devices.
