• Abstract: Post-mortem iris recognition is an emerging application of iris-based human identification in a forensic setup, able to correctly identify deceased subjects even three weeks post-mortem. This technique thus is considered as an important component of future forensic toolkits. The current advancements in this field are seriously slowed down by exceptionally difficult data collection, which can happen in mortuary conditions, at crime scenes, or in ``body farm'' facilities. This paper makes a novel contribution to facilitate progress in post-mortem iris recognition by offering a conditional StyleGAN-based iris synthesis model, trained on the largest-available dataset of post-mortem iris samples acquired from more than 350 subjects, generating -- through appropriate exploration of StyleGAN latent space -- multiple within-class (same identity) and between-class (different new identities) post-mortem iris images, compliant with ISO/IEC 29794-6, and with decomposition deformations controlled by the requested PMI (post mortem interval). Besides an obvious application to enhance the existing, very sparse, post-mortem iris datasets to advance -- among others -- iris presentation attack endeavors, we anticipate it may be useful to generate samples that would expose professional forensic human examiners to never-seen-before deformations for various PMIs, increasing their training effectiveness. The source codes and model weights are made available with the paper.

  We introduce SEMI-TRUTHS, featuring 27,600 real images, 223,400 masks, and 1,472,700 AI-augmented images. Each augmented image is accompanied by metadata for standardized and targeted evaluation of detector robustness. Our findings suggest that state-of-the-art detectors exhibit varying sensitivities to the types and degrees of perturbations, data distributions, and augmentation methods used.

  This paper presents analysis for three different iris matchers at varying points in the GAN training process to diagnose where and when authentic training samples are in jeopardy of leaking through the generative process. Our results show that while most synthetic samples do not show signs of identity leakage, a handful of generated samples match authentic (training) samples nearly perfectly, with consensus across all matchers.
