Iris authentication in handheld devices - considerations for constraint-free acquisition

“…Further, it is shown that dual iris approach is significantly better, particularly when the number of enrolled images is small as is likely for a personal smartphone [47]. NIST Mobile ID Best Practice recommends capturing both irises simultaneously for higher subject acquisition profiles, which will help to achieve higher accuracy and comparison speed [20]. There are some challenges as the dual iris approach may require a dual illumination system.…”

“…Boyce et al [23] have discussed the potential of using multispectral information associated with NIR, and visible (RGB) wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum to improve segmentation and employ user specific wavelength for iris image acquisition. NIST MID-BPR recommends illumination of the wavelength 700-900nm which is compliant with various standards such as IEC 825-1 and International Standard ISO 60825-1 [20].…”

“…Similarly, the NIST Mobile ID Device-Best Practice Recommendation (MID-BPR) [20] also provides guidelines for capture and use of iris images as a biometric modality in mobile devices. A detailed quality analysis of iris based systems is available from NIST [6].…”

Synchronous One Time Biometrics with Pattern Based Authentication

“…The NIST report [7] details some recommendations concerning portable biometric acquisition station and considers the following modalities: fingerprint, face and iris. Most of papers are devoted to a particular modality.…”

Proof-of-concept and evaluation of a dual function visible/NIR camera for iris authentication in smartphones

“…The camera is of current smartphone form factor and can easily be embedded in today's thin smartphones. Surface mount LEDs which comply with the international safety standards are used in this prototype device [14], [15].…”
