Why is the ICE 2006 being conducted?
The US Government needs unbiased and impartial research and development progress assessments and test and evaluation of iris recognition algorithms. These assessments and evaluations help the Government determine if these algorithms/systems can meet current and future requirements of Government agencies. Since this is the first evaluation of this type on iris recognition algorithms, the ICE 2006 will also establish a baseline on which to measure future progress assessments.
