Abstract
We describe in this paper efficient techniques for iris recognition system with high performance from the practical point of view. These techniques range every step for an iris recognition system from the image acquisition step to the final step, the pattern matching, and contain as follows: a method of evaluating the quality of an image in the image acquisition step and excluding it from the subsequent processing if it is not appropriate, a bisection-based Hough transform method on the edge components for detecting the center of the pupil and localizing the iris area from an eye image, an elastic body model for transforming the localized iris area into a simple coordination system, and a compact and efficient feature extraction method which is based on 2D multiresolution wavelet transform. By exploiting these techniques, we can improve the system performance in terms of computationally efficient, and more accurate and robust against noises.
