Database of iris segmentation ground truth (IRISSEG-CC Dataset)

This iris segmentation database contains a mask for each iris image in form of parameters and a method to extract the mask. The parameters define circles (centre and radius) which give the iris boundaries and eyelid masks. Three points of each circle have been manually marked by an operator, which are used to compute the corresponding radius and centre.

Note that the eyelid parametrization was done in a way to ensure the best possible separation of iris and eyelids in the iris region, i.e. outside the iris region the parametrization is not necessarily accurate. Eyelashes information is not included in the segmentation data. An example is as follows:

Only iris segmentation data is provided here, not the original eye image databases, since they are not property of Halmstad University. A link to the actual iris databases is included below, please refer to them in order to obtain the original databases.

Databases available (IRISSEG-CC Dataset)

Biosec baseline database (iris part)

The BioSec database has 3,200 iris images of 640�x480 pixels from 200 subjects acquired with a LG IrisAccess EOU3000 close-up infrared iris camera. Here, we use a subset comprising data from 75 subjects (totalling 1,200 iris images), for which iris and eyelids segmentation groundtruth is available.

Ground truth segmentation files:

Casia Iris v3 Interval database

The CASIA-Iris-Interval subset of the CASIA v3.0 database, containing 2655 iris images of 320�x280 pixels from 249 subjects, was fully segmented. Images were acquired with a close-up infrared iris camera in an indoor environment, having images with very clear iris texture details thanks to a circular NIR LED array.

MobBIO database (iris train dataset)

The iris training subset of the MobBIO database, containing 800 images of 240�x200 pixels from 100 subjects, was fully segmented. Images were captured with the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TE300T Tablet (webcam in visible light) in two different lightning conditions, with variable eye orientations and occlusion levels, resulting in a large variability of acquisition conditions. Distance to the camera was kept constant, however.
