Omnigarde Emerges as #2 U.S. Developer for Dual-Iris Accuracy in Global NIST IREX 10 Benchmark

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. - Rezul -- Omnigarde LLC, a rising American leader in high-performance biometric identity, today announced a landmark achievement in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) IREX 10 1:N (Identification) evaluation. In the latest benchmark results, Omnigarde's debut SDK submission (omnigarde_000) secured the #2 ranking among all U.S.-based developers for Dual-Iris (Two-Eye) accuracy, cementing its position as a premier global provider of mission-critical biometric technology.

The NIST IREX 10 is the world's most rigorous independent evaluation for iris biometric recognition. Tested against a massive sequestered dataset of 500,000 records, Omnigarde's submission excelled in the Dual-Iris Identification track—the industry's "gold standard" for accuracy. According to the NIST results updated on February 27, 2026, Omnigarde_000 achieved the following elite rankings:

• #2 Ranking in the U.S.: Secured the second-place domestic spot for both DET (Detection Error Trade-off) and Rank-1 Accuracy.
• Top 10 Globally: Ranked #6 worldwide for Rank-1 Accuracy and #8 worldwide for DET Accuracy among 32 international developers.
• Operational Efficiency: Delivered elite dual-eye precision with a rapid 1.61-second search time, outperforming several higher-ranked international competitors in real-world processing speed.

"We are incredibly proud that our software achieved top-tier performance in its very first NIST iris evaluation," said Dr. Peter Lo, Founder and CEO of Omnigarde. "This milestone validates our mission to deliver world-class biometric core technologies and cements our position as a leader in multimodal AI recognition."
