Found a good match: Should I keep searching? — Accuracy and performance in iris matching using 1-to-First search

作者:

Highlights:

• Our work investigates the accuracy effects of 1:First search, comparing it with 1:N search.

• Experiments are performed in closed- and open-sets, various gallery sizes, with two iris matchers.

• Results show that this method causes large degradation in iris recognition accuracy rates.

• Accuracy degradation is bound to the gallery size and accuracy target.

• Careful threshold selection may allow the use of 1:First with minimal consequences to accuracy.
