NIST ICE Tests Validate IriTech뭩 Iris Identification Technologies Among Top Performers?April 09, 2007

HERNDON, Virginia-IriTech, Inc. announced the company has successfully completed the National Institute of Science and Technology뭩 (NIST) independent Iris Challenge Evaluation (ICE) 2006 with excellent results. The NIST ICE tests grant strong independent third party validation to IriTech뭩 core iris identification technology (download the complete results here).

Using a closed database, this evaluation measured the one to one accuracy of various iris identification algorithms. Out of eight participants, IriTech was one of only three entities (2 companies) able to complete this evaluation. ICE 2006 consisted of 29,056 right eye and 30,502 left eye iris images drawn from 240 subjects captured with an LG EOU 2200 camera.

밫hese test results definitively prove that IriTech뭩 iris identification technology is an excellent identification solution, as well as a quality alternative to other iris biometric systems,?said Dr. Daehoon Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer of IriTech, Inc. 밯e believe the accuracy and speed of our iris algorithms is even stronger for 1:N comparisons against larger databases, especially with lower quality iris imagery.?/p>

Furthermore, IriTech has continued to realize improvements over the algorithm submitted for ICE 2006. Dr. Kim added, 밢ur new algorithm is now extremely proficient at dealing with highly rotated iris images. Moreover, matching accuracy has been raised, as well as speed뾋riTech뭩 new algorithm performs 25 times faster than the one submitted to ICE 2006 when run on a single core CPU, and IriTech뭩 multi-thread optimized algorithm runs even faster on multi-core CPUs. For example, on Intel뭩 recent QX6700 CPU (quad core), our new algorithm runs 90 times faster. We believe this is a remarkable advancement over the algorithm we submitted for ICE 2006. We look forward to demonstrating the strength of our recent technological improvements to customers worldwide.?/p>

Further validating their technology, IriTech뭩 accuracy has been thoroughly tested and proven by a variety of large system integrators, as well as on public iris image databases such as the ICE 2005, CASIA version 3, and UBIRIS databases.

The ICE 2005 database is the same database used for the open 2005 Iris Challenge Evaluation. Using two-eye pairs in this database, IriTech produced perfect accuracy--a false reject rate (FRR) and false accept rate (FAR) of 0.0000%. The 2005 ICE database can be obtained with a license from NIST here.

The CASIA version 3 database was recently created by the Chinese Academy of Science and can be found here. This database purposely includes images of very poor quality and yet IriTech still achieved an excellent result of 0.51% FAR and FRR.

The UBIRIS database, which can be found here, was created by the University of Bath with the same purpose as the CASIA database뾲o test the resiliency of iris biometric algorithms. The UBIRIS database consists of full color iris images captured with a Nikkon camera. Iritech achieved perfect accuracy in the UBIRIS database with only 27 rejected images.

All of these databases used third party cameras; however IriTech offers its own camera system, the Neoris 2000. Recently the Neoris 2000 was certified by the Chinese government for sale in China. The Chinese government test required a FAR of less than or equal to 0.0001%, an FRR less than or equal to 0.05% and an enrollment error rate of 0.000%. The NEORIS 2000, running on IriTech algorithms, easily passed these tests, achieving an FAR, FRR, and enrollment error rate of 0.000%. IriTech is the first iris identification company to achieve this Chinese certification (click here for full Chinese Government certification).

As all the databases described above are public, these results can quickly and easily be replicated. Indeed, IriTech invites any qualified company to evaluate our algorithms, either on these databases, or on a private database of their choosing.
