An approach to human iris recognition using quantitative analysis of image features and machine learning

원문 초록

The Iris pattern is a unique biological feature for each individual, making it a valuable and powerful tool for human identification. In this paper, an efficient framework for iris recognition is proposed in four steps. (1) Iris segmentation (using a relative total variation combined with Coarse Iris Localization), (2) feature extraction (using Shape&density, FFT, GLCM, GLDM, and Wavelet), (3) feature reduction (employing Kernel-PCA) and (4) classification (applying multi-layer neural network) to classify 2000 iris images of CASIA-Iris-Interval dataset obtained from 200 volunteers. The results confirm that the proposed scheme can provide a reliable prediction with an accuracy of up to 99.64%.
