Iris recognition system is the one of the most reliable biometries recognition system. An algorithm is proposed to determine the localized iris from the iris image received from iris input camera in client. For the first step, the algorithm determines the center of pupil. For the second step, the algorithm determines the outer boundary of the iris and the pupillary boundary. The localized iris area is transformed into polar coordinates. After performing three times Wavelet transformation, normalization was done using a sigmoid function. The converting binary process performs normalized value of pixel from 0 to 255 to be binary value, and then the converting binary process is compared pairs of two adjacent pixels. The binary code of the iris is transmitted to the server by the network. In the server, the comparing process compares the binary value of presented iris to the reference value in the database. The process of recognition or rejection is dependent on the value of Hamming Distance. After matching the binary value of presented iris with the database stored in the server, the result is transmitted to the client.

홍채인식은 홍채의 무늬 패턴 정보를 이용하는 생체인식 기술로 안정성, 보안성과 같은 특징을 가지고 있기 때문에 높은 보안을 요구하는 환경에 특히 적합하다. 최근 들어 홍채정보를 이용하여 출입통제, 정보보안등의 분야에 많이 활용되고 있다. 홍채 특징 추출시 크기, 조명, 회전에 무관한 홍채 특징을 추출하는 것이 바람직하다. 홍채크기 및 조명 문제는 전처리를 통해 쉽게 해결할 수 있지만 회전에 무관한 홍채 특징 추출은 여전히 문제가 된다. 본 논문에서는 회전 보정으로 인한 인식률 및 속도 저하를 개선하기 위해 Zernike 모멘트와 Daubechies Wavelet을 이용한 홍채인식 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 회전에 불변한 Zernike 모멘트의 통계적 특성을 이용하여 회전된 홍채에 대해서 1단계로 유사홍채를 분류함으로서 홍채인식에 필요한 시간을 단축하였고, 인식성능 역시 기존 방법과 대등함을 보였다. 따라서 제안한 방법이 대용량의 홍채 인식 시스템에 효과적인 적용이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Iris recognition is a biometric technology which can identify a person using the iris pattern. Recently, using iris information is used in many fields such as access control and information security. But Perform complex operations to extract features of the iris. Because high-end hardware for real-time iris recognition is required. This paper is appropriate for the embedded environment using local gradient histogram embedded system with iris feature extraction methods based on USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network). Experimental results show that the performance of proposed method is comparable to existing methods using Gabor transform noticeably improves recognition performance and it is noted that the processing time of the local gradient histogram transform is much faster than that of the existing method and rotation was also a strong attribute.

In this paper, we propose an iris recognition system using Homogeneous Texture descriptor of MPEG-7 standard. The texture of iris is generally used in iris recognition system. We segment the pupil with Hough transform and the boundary of iris with it's gray level difference between the white of the eye. To extract Homogeneous Texture descriptor, this iris image is transformed into polar coordinates. The extracted descriptor is then compared with the reference in DB. If their distance is larger than threshold, they are recognized as different iris. Test results will show that Homogeneous Texture descriptor can be a good measure for iris recognition system.

Image feature extraction is one of the basic works for biometric analysis. This paper presents the novel concept of application of ridgelets for iris recognition systems. Ridgelet transforms are the combination of Radon transforms and Wavelet transforms. They are suitable for extracting the abundantly present textural data that is in an iris. The technique proposed here uses the ridgelets to form an iris signature and to represent the iris. This paper contributes towards creating an improved iris recognition system. There is a reduction in the feature vector size, which is 1X4 in size. The False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR) were also reduced and the accuracy increased. The proposed method also avoids the iris normalization process that is traditionally used in iris recognition systems. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 99.82%, 0.1309% FAR, and 0.0434% FRR.

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.

In this paper, to perform iris recognition, the iris is changed to 1-D iris signature and methods of efficient iris pattern transformation are discussed. To represent iris signature's frequency characteristics, Fourier transform, Gabor filtering, and wavelet transform are proposed. The consistency between same person's iris and the discrimination between different person's iris are defined by using correlation. Based on these, three transform methods are compared and analyzed.

홍채 인식은 고유한 홍채 패턴을 이용하여 신원을 확인하는 생체 인식 기술이다. 일반적으로 홍채인식에서 는 홍채 직경이 200 화소(pixel) 이상 되는 고해상도 홍채 영상을 사용하며, 이런 경우 인식률 감소 없이 정확한 홍채 인식 결과를 얻는다고 알려져 있다. 이를 위해 기존의 홍채 인식 시스템들은 줌렌즈 카메라를 사용하지만, 이러한 카메라는 홍채 인식기의 가격과 크기를 증가시키는 요인이 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 줌렌즈 카메라의 사용 없이 저해상도로 취득된 홍채 영상에서의 인식 정확도를 향상할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 방법과 비교하여 다음과 같은 두 가지 장점을 갖는다. 첫째, 기존의 연구에서는 홍채 직경이 200 화소 이하인 저해상도 영상에서의 홍채 인식 성능 감소에 대한 정량적 분석이 진행된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 홍채 영상의 초점 정도, 눈꺼풀 및 속눈썹 가림 정도의 영향을 배제하고, 홍채 영상의 크기 변화에 따른 인식율의 저하정도를 정량적으로 파악하였다. 둘째, 한 장의 저해상도 홍채 영상을 고해상도 영상으로 복원하기 위해 홍채 영역의 에지 방향에 따라 개별적으로 다르게 학습된 다중 다층 퍼셉트론을 적용함으로써, 복원된 영상에서의 인식 정확도를 향상시켰다. 원 영상대비 6%만큼의 크기로 축소한 저해상도 홍채 영상을 고해상도 영상으로 복원한 결과, 제안하는 방법에 의한 홍채 인식의 EER이 기존의 이중선형보간법에 의한 EER보다 0.133% (1.485% - 1.352%) 만큼 감소됨을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, We proposed an algorithm which extraction iris region from 2D image. Our method is composed of three parts : internal boundary defection and external boundary detection. Since eyelid and eyelash cover part of the boundary and the size of iris changes continuously, it is difficult to extract iris region accurately. For the interior and exterior boundary detection, we used partial differentiation of histogram. Performance of the proposed algorithm is tested and evaluated using 360 iris image samples.

Iris recognition is a biometric technology which can identify a person using the iris pattern. It is important for the iris recognition system to extract the feature which is invariant to changes in iris patterns. Those changes can be occurred by the influence of lights, changes in the size of the pupil, and head tilting. This paper is appropriate for the embedded environment using local gradient histogram embedded system using iris feature extraction methods have implement. The proposed method enables high-speed feature extraction and feature comparison because it requires no additional processing to obtain the rotation invariance, and shows comparable performance to the well-known previous methods.
