IBG Publishes Study on Performance of Vein, Iris Recognition Systems

Comparative Biometric Testing Round 6 results detail usability and accuracy of biometric systems

International Biometric Group (IBG) today announced that results from Round 6 of its Comparative Biometric Testing are available at www.biometricgroup.com/cbt.html.

IBG's Comparative Biometric Testing is the leading full-system performance testing program in the biometric industry. CBT evaluates the accuracy and usability of end-to-end biometric systems, including sensors, software, and algorithms.

CBT is compliant with U.S. and international biometric performance testing standards. Systems integrators, government agencies, and high-tech firms use CBT results to make decisions on technology deployments, partnerships, and investments.

IBG tested the following biometric systems in CBT Round 6:

• Fujitsu PalmSecure (palm vein recognition)
• Hitachi UB READER (finger vein recognition)
• IrisGuard H100 (iris recognition)

These cutting-edge technologies are widely used in access control, consumer ID, and border management programs.

IBG collected approximately 70,000 samples, and performed nearly 120,000,000 comparisons, in generating CBT Round 6 results. Results show that systems tested in CBT Round 6 generally excelled in terms of enrollment rates, transaction times, and accuracy.
