THE EFFECTS OF USER CHARACTERISTICS ON IRIS CAPTURE
The purpose of this study was to determine if there was an impact on iris capture error rates based on various
demographic groups. The three demographics which we explored in our analysis were gender, age and height. We
noticed that gender and age showed significant differences in error rates. However height appeared to have no
impact on error rates.

We used the Tukey range test to determine if there is
significant statistical correlation between demographic group
characteristics. Based on error rates, characteristics were
assigned to a group (A or B) to denote if they are statistically
different or similar. P values were less than .05 for all tables.
We found there was significant difference in error rates
between men and women overall.
We also determined that older age groups show significantly
more errors. The 51-69 age group showed very high error rates
as compared to the other groups.
We looked at the data broken down by age for each gender.
We noticed that the greatest gap of failure rates occurred in
the youngest age group (18-24). In this group, women failed
significantly more often.
We found that differences in height played no distinguishable
role in the number of errors.

Results
This is an overview of the whole
population in our data set
based on age and gender. It is
clear that age does play a role
in error rates. However a larger
population could produce
different results.
It is clear from this chart that
there is no significant
correlation between height and
failure rates.
Final Thoughts
• Further studies with larger populations are necessary to verify our findings.
• A follow up study could be performed to determine if other factors affect these error rates. These factors
could include weight, environment, or test administrator.
