Smart Sensors wins Frost & Sullivan 2009 Global Iris Biometric Systems Technology Innovation of the Year Award

The Frost & Sullivan “2009 Global Iris Biometric Systems Technology Innovation of the Year Award,” is presented to Smart Sensors Ltd (Smart Sensors). The award recognizes the company’s outstanding efforts in developing the Monro Iris Recognition Library and INterface Software Development Kit (MIRLIN SDK) – a complete toolkit to build iris biometric engines for image acquisition, enrollment, verification, and iris identity (ID) applications. This technology is based on the work of Donald Monro – now emeritus Professor of Information Systems at the University of Bath, England. Besides innovating and developing the MIRLIN SDK in 2007, Smart Sensors Ltd also organized collection of the Bath Iris Image Database that consists of more than 32,000 iris images. This iris image database features high quality images from various ethnic backgrounds, and is the largest available database of its type, although its terms of use are restricted to research purposes.
