This article reports and summarizes the results of a competition on sclera segmentation and recognition benchmarking, called Sclera Segmentation and recognition Benchmarking Competition 2016 (SSRBC 2016). It was organized in the context of the 9th IAPR International Conference on Biometrics (ICB 2016). The goal of this competition was to record the recent developments in sclera segmentation and recognition, and also to gain the attention of researchers on this subject of biometrics. In this regard, we have used a multi-angle sclera dataset (MASD version 1). It is comprised of 2624 images taken from both the eyes of 82 identities. Therefore, it consists of images of 164 (82*2) different eyes. We have prepared a manual segmentation mask of these images to create the baseline for both tasks. We have, furthermore, adopted precision and recall based statistical measures to evaluate the effectiveness of the segmentation and the ranks of the competing algorithms. The recognition accuracy measure has been employed to measure the recognition task. To summarize, twelve participants registered for the competition, and among them, three participants submitted their algorithms/ systems for the segmentation task and two their recognition algorithm. The results produced by these algorithms reflect developments in the literature of sclera segmentation and recognition, employing cutting edge segmentation techniques. Along with the algorithms of three competing teams and their results, the MASD version 1 dataset will also be freely available for research purposes from the organizer's website. The competition also demonstrates the recent interests of researchers from academia as well as industry on this subject of biometrics.

This piece of work proposes a liveliness based sclera eye biometric, validation and recognition technique at a distance. The images in this work are acquired by a digital camera in the visible spectrum at varying distance of about 1 meter from the individual. Each individual during registration as well as validation is asked to look straight and move their eye ball up, left and right keeping their face straight to incorporate liveliness of the data. At first the image is divided vertically into two halves and the eyes are detected in each half of the face image that is captured, by locating the eye ball by a Circular Hough Transform. Then the eye image is cropped out automatically using the radius of the iris. Next a C-means-based segmentation is used for sclera segmentation followed by vessel enhancement by the adaptive histogram equalization and Haar filtering. The feature extraction was performed by patch-based Dense-LDP (Linear Directive pattern). Furthermore each training image is used to form a bag of features, which is used to produce the training model. Each of the images of the different poses is combined at the feature level and the image level to obtain higher accuracy and to incorporate liveliness. The fusion that produces the best result is considered. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are used for classification. Here images from 82 individuals (both left and right eye i.e. 164 different eyes) are used and an appreciable Equal Error Rate of 0.52% is achieved in this work.

In this piece of work a wrist vein patternrecognition and verification system is proposed. Here the wrist vein images from the PUT database were used, which were acquired in visible spectrum. The vein image only highlights the vein pattern area so, segmentation was not required. Since the wrist's veins are not prominent, image enhancement was performed. An Adaptive Histogram Equalization and Discrete Meyer Wavelet were used to enhance the vessel patterns. For feature extraction, the vein pattern is characterized with Dense Local Binary pattern (D-LBP). D-LBP patch descriptors of each training image are used to form a bag of features, which was used to produce the training model. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) were used for classification. An encouraging Equal Error Rate (EER) of 0.79% was achieved in our experiments.

This work proposes a projective pairwise dictionary learning-based approach for fast and efficient multimodal eye biometrics. The work uses a faster Projective pairwise Discriminative Dictionary Learning (DL) in contrast to the traditional DL which uses synthesis DL. Projective Pairwise Discriminative Dictionary (PPDD) uses a synthesis dictionary and an analysis dictionary jointly to achieve the goal of pattern representation and discrimination. As the PPDD process of DL is in contrast to the use of l 0 or l 1 -norm sparsity constraints on the representation coefficients adopted in most traditional DL, it works faster than other DL. Moreover, the blending of synthesis dictionary and an analysis dictionary also enhance the feature representation of the complex eye patterns. We employed the combination of sclera and iris traits to establish multimodal biometrics. The experimental study and analysis conducted fulfill the hypothesis we considered. In this work we employed a part of the UBIRIS version 1 dataset to conduct the experiments.

In this paper a sclera recognition and validation system is proposed. Here sclera segmentation was performed by Fuzzy logic-based clustering. Since the selera vessels are not prominent, image enhancement was required. A Fuzzy logic-based Brightness Preserving Dynamic Fuzzy Histogram Equalization and discrete Meyer wavelet was used to enhance the vessel patterns. For feature extraction, the Dense Local Binary pattern (D-LBP) was used. D-LBP patch descriptors of each training image are used to form a bag of features, which is used to produce the training model. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are used for classification. The UBIRIS version 1 dataset is used here for experimentation. An encouraging Equal Error Rate (EER) of 4.31% was achieved in our experiments.

Real-time applications of handwriting analysis have increased drastically in the fields of forensic and information security because of accurate cues. One of such applications is human age estimation based on handwriting for the purpose of immigrant checking. In this paper, we have proposed a new method for age estimation using handwriting analysis using Hu invariant moments and disconnectedness features. To make the proposed method robust to both ruled and un-ruled documents, we propose to explore intersection point detection in Canny edge images of each input document, which results in text components. For each text component pair, we propose Hu invariant moments for extracting disconnectedness features, which in fact measure multi-shape components based on distance, shape and mutual position analysis of components. Furthermore, iterative k-means clustering is proposed for the classification of different age groups. Experimental results on our dataset and some standard datasets, namely, IAM and KHATT, show that the proposed method is effective and outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

In this paper an efficient and adaptive biometric sclera recognition and verification system is proposed. Sclera segmentation was performed by Fuzzy C-means clustering. Since the sclera vessels are not prominent, in order to make them clearly visible image enhancement was required. Adaptive histogram equalization, followed by a bank of Discrete Meyer Wavelet was used to enhance the sclera vessel patterns. Feature extraction was performed by, Dense Local Directional pattern (D-LDP). D-LDP patch descriptors of each training image are used to form a bag of features; further Spatial Pyramid Matching was used to produce the final training model. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are used for classification. The UBIRIS version 1 dataset was used here for experimentation of the proposed system. To investigate regarding sclera patterns adaptively with respect to change in environmental condition, population, data accruing technique and time span two different session of the mention dataset are utilized. The images in two sessions are different in acquiring technique, representation, number of individual and they were captured in a gap of two weeks. An encouraging Equal Error Rate (EER) of 3.95% was achieved in the above mention investigation.

This research proposed an automatic student identification and verification system utilising off-line Thai name components. The Thai name components consist of first and last names. Dense texture-based feature descriptors were able to yield encouraging results when applied to different handwritten text recognition scenarios. As a result, the authors employed such features in investigating their performance on Thai name component verification system. In this research, Dense-Local Binary pattern, Dense-Local Directional pattern, and Local Binary pattern combined with Local Directional pattern were employed. A base-line shape/feature i.e. Hidden Markov Model (HMM) was also utilised in this study. As there is no dataset on Thai name verification in the literature, a dataset is proposed for a Thai name verification system. The name component samples were collected from high school students. It consists of 8,400 name components (first and last names) from 100 students. Each student provided 60 genuine name components, and each of the name components was forged by 12 other students. An encouraging result was found employing the above-mentioned features on the proposed dataset.
