IREX Iris Exchange

The Iris Exchange (IREX) was initiated at NIST in support of an expanded marketplace of iris-based applications based on standardized interoperable iris imagery. The work is primarily conducted in support of the ISO/IEC 19794-6 standard. It secondarily supports the ANSI/NIST ITL 1-2007 Type 17 standard, as derived from the ISO/IEC 19794-6:2005 parent.

 

VASIR - Video-based Automatic System for Iris Recognition

Video-based Automatic System for Iris Recognition (VASIR) is a NIST implemented iris recognition algorithm designed to work on both conventional iris images and iris images collected at a distance.

 

Iris Challenge Evaluation

The Iris Challenge Evaluation (ICE) project was conducted and managed by Dr. P. Jonathon Phillips at NIST. It was conducted simultaneously with the Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) 2006 and results are reported in a combined, multi-biometric report.

MBE - Multiple Biometrics Evaluation

MBE has three tracks: Portal, Video, and Still Face. 

 

Multiple Biometric Grand Challenge

 The primary goal of the Multiple Biometric Grand Challenge (MBGC) is to investigate, test and improve performance of face and iris recognition technology on both still and video imagery through a series of challenge problems and evaluation. The participation period has now ended, however, MBGC data is still available to researchers.
