IRIS DETECTION SIRISHA SUMANTH and LATIF ALIANTO
The Iris as a Biometric Why Iris? • Data-rich physical structure - The tabecular meshwork • The cornea – protection • Stability of the iris pattern • Non-invasive method • Genetic independence
Preprocessing • Image acquisition - Focus on high resolution and quality - Moderate illumination - Elimination of artifacts • Image localization • Adjustments for imaging contrast, illumination and camera gain
Iris Isolation • Removal of parts other than the iris - Circular mask • Image cropping - Use of the geometry of the eye - Reduction in image size
Feature Extraction • Pattern of the tabecular network • Comparison of edge operators • LoG operator - Calculates second spatial derivative of an image - Not affected by noise due to smoothing operation - Isotropic operator
Database creation and data compression • Efficient use of storage space • Edge information is stored in a binary image – use of ones and zeros only • Majority of the data are zeros • Further compression using the run length of zeros • Compression of 662.112 KB to 20.954 KB
Data Validation • Test of statistical independence • Parameter – Hamming distance - gives a measure of the disagreement • Hamming distance = zero =>identity validated • Hamming distance ≠ zero =>invalid ID
