2. VASIR: An Open-Source Research Platform for Advanced Iris Recognition Technologies
Series: Journal of Research (NIST JRES)
Report Number: 118.011
Topic: Biometrics
Published: 4/22/2013
Authors: Yooyoung Lee, Ross J Micheals, James J Filliben, P Jonathon Phillips
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 ...

5. Examination of Downsampling Strategies for Converting 1000 ppi Fingerprint Imagery to 500 ppi
Series: NIST Interagency/Internal Report (NISTIR)
Report Number: 7839
Topic: Biometrics
Published: 1/22/2013
Authors: Shahram Orandi, John M Libert, John Donald Grantham, Lepley Margaret, Bruce Bandini, Kenneth Ko, Lindsay Meredith Petersen, Stephen S Wood, Stephen G. Harvey
Abstract: Currently the bulk of fingerprint data in operational is captured, processed and stored at 500 ppi using the WSQ compressed digital format. With the transition to 1000 ppi, some systems will unavoidably contain an overlap between 500 ppi and 1000 ppi ...

7. Dictionary-based Face Recognition from Video
Topic: Biometrics
Published: 12/10/2012
Authors: P Jonathon Phillips, Yi-Chen Chen, Vishal M Patel, Rama Chellappa
Abstract: The main challenge in recognizing faces in video is effec- tively exploiting the multiple frames of a face and the accompanying dynamic signature. One prominent method is based on extracting joint appearance and behavioral features. A second method ...
