A cross-sensor evaluation of three commercial iris cameras for iris biometrics

Abstract

As iris biometrics increasingly becomes a large-scale application, the issue of interoperability between iris sensors becomes an important topic of research. This work presents experiments which compare three commercially available iris sensors and investigates the impact of cross-sensor matching on system performance. The sensors are evaluated using three different iris matching algorithms, and conclusions are drawn regarding the interaction between the sensors and the matching algorithm in a cross-sensor scenario.
