2. BIOMETRIC SECURITY




Modern and reliable method
Hard to breach
Wide range
Why Iris Recognition
Highly protected and stable,
template size is small and
image encoding and matching
is relatively fast.

3. INTRODUCTION TO IRIS RECOGNITION
Sharbat Gula – aged 12 at
Afghani refugee camp.
18 years later at a remote
location in Afghanistan.
John Daugman, University of
Cambridge – Pioneer in Iris
Recognition.

4. OVERVIEW OF OUR SYSTEM

5. SEGMENTATION



Detecting the pupil edges
Detecting the iris edges
Extracting the iris region
Canny Edge
Detection
Algorithm

6. NORMALISATION
Variations in eye: Optical size (iris), position (pupil), Orientation (iris).
Fixed Dimension, Cartesian co-ordinates to Polar coordinates.
Daugman’s Rubber Sheet
Model:
(R, theta) to unwrap iris and easily
generate a template code.

7. FEATURE EXTRACTION AND
MATCHING





Generate a template code along with a
mask code.
Compare 2 iris templates using
Hamming distances.
Shifting of Hamming distances: To
counter rotational inconsistencies.
<0.32: Iris Match
>0.32: Not a Match

8. RESULTS AND CASE STUDIES


FAR, FRR
EER: 18.3 % which gives an accuracy close to 82%
ROC: Receiver Operator
Characteristics

9. Advantages






Uniqueness of iris patterns hence improved
accuracy.
Highly protected, internal organ of the eye
Stability : Persistence of iris patterns.
Non-invasive : Relatively easy to be
acquired.
Speed : Smaller template size so large
databases can be easily stored and
checked.
Cannot be easily forged or modified.

10. Concerns / Possible
improvements




High cost of implementation
Person has to be “physically” present.
Capture images independent of surroundings
and environment / Techniques for dark eyes.
Non-ideal iris images
Pupil Dilation
Eye Rotation
Inconsistent Iris size
