In this paper, a new iris Segmentation method is presented. An iris recognition system acquires a human eye image, segments the iris region from the rest of the image, normalizes this segmented image and encodes features to get a compact iris template. Performance of all subsequent stages in an iris recognition system is highly dependent on correct detection of pupil-iris and iris-sclera bounda...

The interface of computer technologies and biology is having a huge impact on society. Human recognition research projects promises new life to many security-consulting. Iris recognition is considered to be the most reliable biometric authentication system. Image quality plays a crucial role in any pattern matching system. Three different iris databases have been employed for comparison of perf...

Iris recognition is the process of recognizing a person by analyzing the apparent pattern of his or her iris. Many techniques have been developed for iris recognition so far. Here, we propose a new iris recognition system with the help of local histogram and then optimized with FFBNN-PSO. In the proposed system, first the input eye images are preprocessed using adaptive median filter to remove ...

Traditional iris recognition method has low speed and searching rate in large-scale unstructured database. Three different quantum algorithms are proposed in iris recognition. Quantum filtering algorithm can get a better filtering result than classical algorithm in iris filtering process. Quantum Fourier transforms exhibits an exponential speed-up compared with discrete Fourier transform in fea...

There is considerable rise in the research of iris recognition system over a period of time. Most of the researchers has been focused on the development of new iris pre-processing and recognition algorithms for good quail iris images. In this paper, iris recognition system using Haar wavelet packet is presented. Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT ) which is extension of discrete wavelet transform ha...

The importance of personal authentication is gradually increasing with the development of the information society. Biometrics identification technology plays an important role in cyberspace. Unlike other biometrics such as the face or fingerprints, iris recognition has high reliability for personal identification. Iris recognition methods are classified into four categories: the phase-based met...

Iris recognition is one of the most accurate identity verification system. Since its initial introduction by J. Daughman, many methods have been proposed to enhance the performance. Many methods have been proposed to feature extraction by many researchers. We present an overview of the latest research of feature extraction of iris recognition. We present the latest development in terms of accur...

Due to its distinctiveness, the human iris is a popular biometric feature used to identity a person with high accuracy. The “Grand Challenge” in iris recognition is to have an effective algorithm for subject verification or identification under a broad range of image and environmental conditions. This paper presents both baseline performance results and an enhanced version of VASIR (Video-based...

This thesis investigates the problem of facial image analysis. Human faces contain a lot of information that is useful for many applications. For instance, the face and iris are important biometric features for security applications. Facial activity analysis such as face expression recognition is helpful for perceptual user interfaces. Developing new methods to improve recognition performance i...
