Samsung recently introduced its new Galaxy Phone with Iris scanner, but much more interesting than new phones is the work of Adam Czajka and Piotr Maciejewicz Dead eye biometrics have explored. You have now found out that eyes were still recognized 5 hours after death, in individual cases up to 27 hours.

Dead eye biometrics

They used both infrared and visible light cameras to collect images, getting the first set at 5 hours after death, and doing two other sessions at about 16 and 27 hours after death. Czajka and PhD student Mateusz Trokielewicz then tested whether several commercial products and one open-source iris matching system worked on the dead eyes.

He found that the dead eyes were easily recognizable in the first session, and some could still be used for identification as late as 27 hours after the person's demise. While the cornea gradually became cloudy over time as the corneal cells broke down, that opaqueness didn't interfere with the infrared imaging. Czajka's now conducting research using eyes that are several days or even weeks past their expiration date.

Paper: Postmortem Human Iris Recognition, from the conclusions:

This paper presents the only study that we are aware of regarding post-mortem use of human iris as a biometric identifier. Contrary to claims common in the biometric community, our results show that human iris can be successfully employed for biometric authentication for a number of hours after death. Empirical study incorporating four different iris recognition method has shown that a significant portion of iris can be successfully recognized 5-7 hours after a person's demise (with FNMRs equaling 0% to 8.33% for the best and the worst performing method, respectively).

However, this percentage is expected to decrease significantly as time period since death progresses, reaching FNMRs of 26.67% to as much as 86.67%. Comprehensive medical commentary is also presented to explain the underlying causes of such behavior, with processes associated with corneal opacification, drying and loss of intraocular pressure recognized as the most probable sources of recognition errors.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced press reporting politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I'm aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I won't change it to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it is "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
