Participants Needed: Iris Image Capture with Contact Lenses (biometric collection)

Dr. Stephanie Schuckers, Clarkson University, is performing biometric research and is looking for subjects willing to participate in the study titled ‘Development of Patterned and Clear Contact Lens Detection in Iris recognition’. Contact lenses participants will be asked to have iris images taken with and without contact lenses. This collection involves 2 visits. Each time you will wear five different contacts, one at a time, for a series of pictures. Each visit takes approximately 30 minutes. The collected data is stored in the form of media files. The equipment used for data collection includes two iris scanners. This variety in equipment ensures that the dataset covers a wide range of image qualities and resolutions, reflecting real-world scenarios where different devices are used for contact lens detection. This study takes approximately 30 minutes. The collected images will be used to build a dataset for creating spoofs and testing algorithms with spoof data.    

We are located in Camp Annex (CA2211).  If you choose to participate, your involvement would involve a single visit taking approximately 30 minutes.

Upon the completion, you will be compensated with $20 for each visit and $40 for 2 visits. Refusal to participate or deciding to discontinue participation at any time will involve no penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

If you are still interested in participating, please email us at biometrics@clarkson.edu with days and times that you are available to participate in our research.  Our scheduler will respond back to you to set up an appointment.  

Please ignore this if you have already participated.

This biometric collection protocol has been approved through the Clarkson Institutional Review Board.  Approval #25-01.3.  Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
