Does Iris Change Over Time?

چکیده
Iris as a biometric identifier is assumed to be stable over a period of time. However, some researchers have observed that for long time lapse, the genuine match score distribution shifts towards the impostor score distribution and the performance of iris recognition reduces. The main purpose of this study is to determine if the shift in genuine scores can be attributed to aging or not. The experiments are performed on the two publicly available iris aging databases namely, ND-Iris-Template-Aging-2008-2010 and ND-TimeLapseIris-2012 using a commercial matcher, VeriEye. While existing results are correct about increase in false rejection over time, we observe that it is primarily due to the presence of other covariates such as blur, noise, occlusion, and pupil dilation. This claim is substantiated with quality score comparison of the gallery and probe pairs.

Empirical Evidence for Iris Match Score Degradation with Time Lapse in ICE 2006
It is widely assumed that, barring traumatic injury to the eye or eye surgery, a person’s iris does not change over time. This implies that iris recognition performance does not degrade as time increases after initial enrollmentalso known as the template-aging problem. We present results of the first study to investigate the validity of this assumption. We explore the effects of time lapse sinc...
متن کاملNo change over time is shown in Rankin et al. "Iris recognition failure over time: The effects of texture"
The recently published paper by Rankin et al. [1] ‘‘Iris recognition failure over time: The effects of texture’’ is paradoxical because in fact no changes over time were demonstrated, either in the iris patterns or in the system performance. The authors measured iris recognition performance using ‘‘local and non-local dipole and tripole’’ methods of iris feature extraction proposed by Sun et al...

Iris recognition is the most accurate of the top three biometrics: fingerprints, facial recognition, and iris recognition. Iris recognition has a false accept rate of 1 in 1.2 million for one eye (1 in 1.44 trillion for two eyes) regardless of database size [1]. Iris recognition is the easiest one among biometrics related with the eye. It works with simple CCD camera and does not need direct co...

Iris based authentication system is a pattern recognition technique that makes the use of iris patterns, which are statistically unique. The richness and apparent stability of the iris texture make it a robust biometric trait for personal authentication. Iris is a unique part which does not change with respect to time and also every individual has unique and different pattern of iris for both t...

Background & Objective: Pain is a common symptom among people with MS. In the majority of MS patients, pain is chronic in nature, but it can change over time. The objective of this study was to determine if pain type can predict pain severity changes in individuals with MS over time. Materials & Methods: The research method was a longitudinal design that evaluated pain type and severity at...
