Cross-Eyed - Cross-Spectral Iris/Periocular Recognition Database and Competition
This work presents a novel dual-spectrum database containing both iris and periocular images synchronously captured from a distance and within a realistic indoor environment. This database was used in the 1st Cross-Spectrum Iris/Periocular Recognition Competition (Cross-Eyed 2016). This competition aimed at recording recent advances in cross- spectrum iris and periocular recognition. Six submissions were evaluated for cross-spectrum periocular recognition, and three for iris recognition. The submitted algorithms are briefly introduced. Detailed results are reported in this paper, and comparison of the results is discussed.
