초록

This paper describes a new iris segmentation and recognition method, which is robust to noises. Combining statistical classification and elastic boundary fitting, the iris is first segmented. Then, the localized iris image is smoothed by a convolution with a Gaussian function, down-sampled by a factor of filtered with a Laplacian operator, and quantized using the Lloyd-Max method. Since the quantized output is sensitive to a small shift of the full-resolution iris image, the outputs of the Laplacian operator are computed for all space shifts. The quantized output with maximum entropy is selected as the final feature representation. An appropriate formulation of similarity measure is defined for the classification of the quantized output. Experimentally we showed that the proposed method produces superb performance in iris segmentation and recognition.
