NIR Iris Challenge Evaluation in Non-cooperative Environments: Segmentation and Localization (NIR-ISL 2021)

In this challenge, we aim to benchmark the performance of iris segmentation on NIR iris images from Asian and African people captured in non-cooperative environments.

Avoiding Spectacles Reflections on Iris Images Using A Ray-tracing Method

Spectacles reflection removal is a challenging problem in iris recognition research. The reflection of the spectacles usually contaminates the iris image acquired under infrared illumination. The intense light reflection caused by the active light …

Contrastive Uncertainty Learning for Iris Recognition with Insufficient Labeled Samples

Cross-database recognition is still an unavoidable challenge when deploying an iris recognition system to a new environment. In the paper, we present a compromise problem that resembles the real-world scenario, named iris recognition with …

Overview of biometrics research

Biometrics, such as face, iris, and fingerprint recognition, have become digital identity proof for people to enter the “Internet of Everything” . For example, one may be asked to present the biometric identifier for unlocking mobile, passing access …

Kunbo Zhang Wins IJCB 2020 Best Paper Award Runner-Up

Zhang published paper, All-in-Focus Iris Camera With a Great Capture Volume, wins the PC chairs choice best paper award runner-Up at the 2020 International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2020).

A Lightweight Multi-Label Segmentation Network for Mobile Iris Biometrics

This paper proposes a novel, lightweight deep convolutional neural network specifically designed for iris segmentation of noisy images acquired by mobile devices. Unlike previous studies, which only focused on improving the accuracy of segmentation …

Iris Liveness Detection Based on Light Field Imaging

Light-field (LF) imaging is a new method to capture both intensity and direction information of visual objects, providing promising solutions to biometrics. Iris recognition is a reliable personal identification method, however it is also vulnerable …

All-in-Focus Iris Camera With a Great Capture Volume

Imaging volume of an iris recognition system has been restricting the throughput and cooperation convenience in biometric applications. Numerous improvement trials are still impractical to supersede the dominant fixed-focus lens in stand-off iris …

Recognition Oriented Iris Image Quality Assessment in the Feature Space

A large portion of iris images captured in real world scenarios are poor quality due to the uncontrolled environment and the non-cooperative subject. To ensure that the recognition algorithm is not affected by low-quality images, traditional …
