초록

This paper describes a new iris recognition method using shift-invariant subbands. First an iris image is preprocessed to compensate the variation of the iris image. Then, the preprocessed iris image is decomposed into multiple subbands using a shift invariant wavelet transform. The best subband among them, which have rich information for various iris pattern and robust to noises, is selected for iris recognition. The quantized pixels of the best subband yield the feature representation. Experimentally, we show that the proposed method produced superb performance in iris recognition.
