Abstract

Iris has become a most promising Biometric in field of securities. A lot of methods
have been proposed to recognized iris in ideal imaging condition. The possibility of
acquiring faulty iris images in non ideal environment is very much high because of
off-axis, illumination change, image blurring, pose variation, oise. Applying
existing methods for iris images ta!en in non ideal imaging condition "ould lead
imprecise results. #et us introduce a Technique "hich can be applied to efficiently to
segment, recognize and extract iris boundaries for images ta!en in non ideal
environment. This is a $obust Technique for segmenting non-circular inner and outer
iris boundaries. This method can localize iris boundaries more accurately than the
previous methods. The combination of algorithms selected at segmentation,
extraction of features and recognition has increased the recognition performance.
%nder some reasonable assumptions this method becomes very efficient "hile
maintaining its effectiveness. &inally, "e investigate ho" to extract highly distinctive
features in the degraded iris images. 'e present a sequential for"ard selection
method for see!ing a sub-optimal subset of filters from a family of (abor filters. The
recognition performance is greatly improved "ith a very small number of filters
selected. )xperiments "ere conducted on the *A+IA.v, iris database and promising
results "ere obtained.
