Abstract

This paper presents the recognition performances of a simulated multi-enrollment iris biometric verification system in which the fuzzy membership of any current user to an enrolled identity that he is claiming is decided using a probabilistic neural network architecture that has two roles: first, it encodes from five binary iris code samples the digital identity of each enrolled person (eye), and second, it uses the enrolled digital identities to produce similarity scores as membership degrees of the current candidate iris codes to the claimed identities. The experimental part contains two simulations of a recognition system having 654 users, each of them enrolled with five eye images (and the corresponding binary iris codes). The first simulation uses five candidate iris codes for each enrolled user (which gives a total of 3.270 candidate iris codes), whereas the second one is testing the identity claims for all the candidate iris codes corresponding to the eyes having at least five candidate iris codes available (giving a total of 8.810 candidate iris codes). Both simulations use CASIA-Iris-Lamp (V4) database.
