Abstract

The performance of iris recognition systems is frequently affected by input image quality, which in turn is vulnerable to less-than-optimal conditions due to illuminations, environments, and subject characteristics (e.g., distance, movement, face/body visibility, blinking, etc.). VASIR (Video-based Automatic System for Iris Recognition) is a state-of-the-art NIST-developed iris recognition software platform designed to systematically address these vulnerabilities. We developed VASIR as a research tool that will not only provide a reference (to assess the relative performance of alternative algorithms) for the biometrics community, but will also advance (via this new emerging iris recognition paradigm) NIST's measurement mission. VASIR is designed to accommodate both ideal (e.g., classical still images) and less-than-ideal images (e.g., face-visible videos). VASIR has three primary modules: 1) Image Acquisition 2) Video Processing, and 3) Iris Recognition. Each module consists of several sub-components that have been optimized by use of rigorous orthogonal experiment design and analysis techniques. We evaluated VASIR performance using the MBGC (Multiple Biometric Grand Challenge) NIR (Near-Infrared) face-visible video dataset and the ICE (Iris Challenge Evaluation) 2005 still-based dataset. The results showed that even though VASIR was primarily developed and optimized for the less-constrained video case, it still achieved high verification rates for the traditional still-image case. For this reason, VASIR may be used as an effective baseline for the biometrics community to evaluate their algorithm performance, and thus serves as a valuable research platform.

VASIR:先进虹膜识别技术的开源研究平台。
虹膜识别系统的性能经常受到输入图像质量的影响,而输入图像质量又容易受到光照、环境和主体特征(例如距离、运动、面部/身体可见性、眨眼等)等因素的影响。VASIR(基于视频的虹膜识别自动系统)是nist开发的最先进的虹膜识别软件平台,旨在系统地解决这些漏洞。我们开发VASIR作为一种研究工具,不仅可以为生物识别社区提供参考(评估替代算法的相对性能),而且还可以推进(通过这种新兴的虹膜识别范式)NIST的测量任务。VASIR旨在适应理想(例如,经典的静止图像)和不太理想的图像(例如,脸部可见的视频)。VASIR有三个主要模块:1)图像采集2)视频处理3)虹膜识别。每个模块由几个子组件组成,这些子组件通过严格的正交实验设计和分析技术进行了优化。我们使用MBGC(多重生物识别大挑战)NIR(近红外)人脸可见视频数据集和ICE(虹膜挑战评估)2005静态数据集来评估VASIR的性能。结果表明,尽管VASIR主要针对约束较少的视频情况进行了开发和优化,但对于传统的静止图像情况,它仍然实现了很高的验证率。因此,VASIR可以作为生物识别界评估其算法性能的有效基线,从而作为一个有价值的研究平台。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is the flagship publication of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It has been published under various titles and forms since 1904, with its roots as Scientific Papers issued as the Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards. In 1928, the Scientific Papers were combined with Technologic Papers, which reported results of investigations of material and methods of testing. This new publication was titled the Bureau of Standards Journal of Research. The Journal of Research of NIST reports NIST research and development in metrology and related fields of physical science, engineering, applied mathematics, statistics, biotechnology, information technology.
