Iris In Focus

Iris recognition is one of the most intriguing biometrics - highly accurate and full of promise. But has the technology managed to deliver? This stream covers case histories, bleeding-edge research, test results and an illuminating speech by Professor John Daugman, the inventor of iris recognition, on the vital principles behind large-scale database search using iris.

Testing and technology

Testing is critical in the biometrics industry and can be credited for driving many of the technological advances over the past decade. This stream considers both the latest results – including NIST's Face Quality Analysis Challenge – and how technology can aid testing procedures.
