CASIA-Iris-Thousand

The CASIA-Iris-Thousand dataset is a groundbreaking collection created to support advancements in iris recognition research. It includes 20,000 high-quality iris images from 1,000 unique individuals, making it an extensive resource for studying the uniqueness and variability of iris patterns. These images were collected using the advanced IKEMB-100 dual-eye iris camera, developed by IrisKing, which ensures both precision and ease of use.

Key Features of the CASIA-Iris-Thousand Dataset

Advanced Iris Camera

The images were captured using the IKEMB-100 camera, which features dual-eye imaging capabilities and an intuitive LCD display. This “What You See Is What You Get” interface allows users to adjust their pose for the best possible image quality.

Large Subject Diversity

With images from 1,000 subjects, this dataset provides a strong foundation for analyzing the uniqueness of iris patterns across a wide range of individuals.

Intra-class Variations

The dataset captures natural variations in iris images caused by factors such as eyeglasses and specular reflections. These variations mimic real-world conditions, making the dataset highly useful for practical applications.

Research and Development Applications

As the first publicly available iris dataset with data from 1,000 individuals, CASIA-Iris-Thousand is perfect for:

• Developing and testing iris classification algorithms
• Creating efficient indexing methods
• Building reliable biometric security systems
