PEO-TIS: Contactless Iris Collection Collaboration Event (CE)
Request to Attend NLT 28 August 2026 11:59 PM ET U.S. Citizens Only
Purpose
SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM Program Executive Office Tactical Information Systems (PEO-TIS), will host a series of events to complete a study of mobile devices (Android-based cell phones and tablets) with built-in cameras for their use in unaided iris localization and collection, including resolution testing and image distortion analysis. This work is considered device performance based on publicly available camera optics information against published standards. This work will support the resulting iris capture for incorporation into biometric files for matching and storing submissions into the authoritative Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS).(References ISO/IEC 19794-6:2011, ISO/IEC 29794-6:2015, DoD EBTS 4.1).
Background/Synopsis
A previous study indicated that it is possible to conduct iris localization using a mobile device camera, but a wider population pool is required to validate these results. A wider population of 500-1000 is adequate to prove the basic viability of the biometric algorithm. Results should include significant matching scores, a breakdown of individual camera performances, and insight into the near-infrared (805 nm - 1, 000 nm) instrument response function.
Objective
Prove contactless iris collection reaches matchable quality while leveraging the native lighting sources on a mobile device, which will inadvertently reduce overall size, weight, and power (SWAP) and the need for tethering additional hardware to existing biometric collection devices.
A peer-reviewed study will be conducted by the Identify Intelligence Exploitation program office and subject matter experts that support the program to prove or disprove the objective.
The initial development of an application or process will enable the objective for incorporation into current devices or p...
