This is a subset of Q-FIRE dataset. This subset was created by Telecome Sud Paris to study quality-based fusion in iris recognition. To request the following dataset, please contact citer@clarkson.edu and indicate the specific dataset. Please see links below for additional details of the dataset.
The 3 selected subsets correspond to the scenario “illumination” at the medium quality level, and at different distances: 5, 7 and 11 feet of QFIRE database. This variability in the distance was introduced to produce high, medium and low resolution iris images. The quality factor “resolution” is defined as the number of pixels across the horizontal diameter of the iris. In addition, during the acquisition procedure of QFIRE, an intentional defocus blur was added to each sequence by manually turning the focus ring of the iris camera in order to generate some non-uniformity in each video sequence. Note that the subjects are static.
