Abstract

Iris recognition is widely accepted in different kinds of applications. When it comes to mobile iris recognition, the task is quite challenging because of the low quality of iris images. To solve this problem, we propose a mobile iris recognition algorithm based on fusing features and Joint Bayesian. The iris feature representations are extracted by 2D Gabor and Ordinal Measures. Then these feature representations are fused by Joint Bayesian and the similarity of two iris images is measured by log-likelihood ratio. The experiments are conducted on MIR-Train database and a self-established low-quality iris image database (LQIID). The proposed method achieves EER at 1.2% on MIR-Train database and 0.8% on LQIID. These experiments support the effectiveness of the proposed method.
