Abstract

The IRis EXchange (IREX) program at NIST employs best measurement practices to support the development, standardization, and interoperability of iris-based technology through ongoing evaluations of that technology; IREX evaluations provide information that helps advance the development of a marketplace of iris-based applications based on standardized interoperable iris imagery and provides decision makers with information critical to their decisions about deployment of the technology. IREX has conducted a series of evaluations of iris algorithms which are documented on the IREX website at https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/iris-exchange-irex-overview. To assure that algorithms submitted for evaluation produce the same results in the NIST evaluation environment that they do in the developer/vendor environment, we need to compare results on a common set of iris images in the two environments. IREX-Validation-2019 is a dataset developed to facilitate such comparisons. In brief: • The images in the dataset were collected under protocols approved by the NIST Institutional Review Board. • The images are from subjects who provided model releases that permit use of the images in publications and datasets that are distributed by NIST. • The dataset is distributed under user agreements associated with IREX evaluations. • Inquiries regarding the IREX program may be directed to the IREX Liaison at irex [at] nist.gov (irex[at]nist[dot]gov). • Any papers or reports making use of the dataset should cite this report as discussed in section 2.1 Carried out under NIST IRB Approved protocol ITL-16-0002.
