NIST’s Iris Exchange III report also found some trade-offs between accuracy and speed, the April 16 final report indicated. Faster searches tended to be less accurate. At the same time, the iris recognition tests proved to be more accurate than facial recognition tests in some, but not all, circumstances. NIST’s report is on the first public and independent test of commercially-available algorithms used to determine the accuracy of a one-to-many match, which is a check of an individual’s data against a large database of potential identities to determine if there is a match. Previous tests had looked only at one-to-one verification, in which testing is done to confirm whether an iris with a known identity can be confirmed against a specific record.
