UBIRIS: A Noisy Iris Image Database

This paper presents a new iris database that contains images with noise. This is in contrast with the existing databases, that are noise free. UBIRIS is a tool for the development of robust iris recognition algorithms for biometric proposes. We present a detailed description of the many characteristics of UBIRIS and a comparison of several image segmentation approaches used in the current iris segmentation methods where it is evident their small tolerance to noisy images.
