Key Facts

  • Search time was 0.088 seconds against a gallery of 500,000 identities.
  • Template size was 6,237 bytes.
  • The false negative identification rate was 0.0067 at a 0.01 false positive threshold.

Card Text

Template size and search latency together determine whether iris matching is viable on constrained hardware or at national gallery scale. Reporting them alongside error rates gives a fuller picture than accuracy figures alone.
