Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

5.9K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Longitudinal Research

11.7K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Evolution of New Traits in Microbes

201
Microorganisms evolve rapidly due to their large population sizes and short generation times, often exhibiting measurable changes within days under laboratory conditions. Natural selection acts on standing genetic variation, enabling the retention and amplification of beneficial traits that confer fitness advantages in changing environments.Adaptive Pigment Regulation in RhodobacterIn Rhodobacter, a genus of purple non-sulfur bacteria, light-harvesting pigments such as bacteriochlorophyll and...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Iris recognition performance can decrease over time due to factors beyond aging. This study finds that blur, noise, and pupil dilation, not just aging, cause shifts in genuine match scores, impacting iris biometric accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Biometrics
  • Computer Vision
  • Pattern Recognition

Background:

  • Iris recognition is a biometric technology relying on iris stability.
  • Long-term studies show decreased performance, with genuine scores shifting towards impostor scores.
  • The cause of this performance degradation, specifically aging, requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether aging is the primary cause of genuine score shifts in iris recognition over time.
  • To analyze the impact of various covariates on iris recognition performance degradation.

Main Methods:

  • Experiments were conducted on two public iris aging databases: ND-Iris-Template-Aging-2008-2010 and ND-TimeLapseIris-2012.
  • A commercial iris matcher, VeriEye, was used for performance evaluation.
  • Quality scores of gallery and probe pairs were compared to identify contributing factors.

Main Results:

  • While false rejections increase over time, aging is not the sole or primary cause.
  • Covariates such as blur, noise, occlusion, and pupil dilation significantly influence genuine score distribution shifts.
  • Quality score analysis supports the influence of these covariates over intrinsic aging effects.

Conclusions:

  • Iris recognition performance decline over long periods is mainly attributed to environmental and physiological factors, not solely aging.
  • Understanding these covariates is crucial for developing robust iris recognition systems.
  • Future research should focus on mitigating the impact of blur, noise, occlusion, and pupil dilation for improved long-term iris biometric stability.
