One of the most im mportant authenntication approaaches is the iriss recognition sy ystem (IRS), which
w is based on the iris of
apersson for the authhentication.In this
t paper, we propose a new w iris recognitio on system using a novel featuure extraction
methhod. The propossed method, Neeighborhood-baased Binary Patttern, comparess each neighborr of the central pixel withthe
next neighbor to enncode it by 1 if i it is greater or 0 if it is loower than the central
c pixel. The
T obtained bbinary code is
convverted into a decimal number to t construct thee NBP image. In I order to deall with the rotattion problem, wwe propose an
encoding process too obtain a rotatiion-invariant im mage. This imagge is subdivideed into several blocks
b and the mean of each
blockk is calculated. After, the vaariations of thee means are enncoded by a biinary code. Thee obtained binnary matrix is
consiidered as featurre descriptor off the iris. In thee evaluation parrt, the CASIA iris
i database [10] has been useed to evaluate
the performance
p of the proposed IR RS. The experim ments demonstrrate that the pro oposed method gives better reccognition rate
comppared to the LB BP method. Expperimental resuults show also that t the propossed system espeecially the featuure extraction
methhod gives promiising results.

58.75% and the NBP method is 76.25%.We can notice, from the results, that the NBP method is better than
the classical LBP method.Because in fact, the neighborhood of the central pixel is thresholded by its value
using the LBP method.So, LBP get the relationship between each neighbor and the central pixel.However, the
NBP method describes each pixel by the relationship of its neighborhoods.Experimental results demonstrate
that it is more interesting to capture the relative pertinent information between the neighbors.Thus, the results
have shown the robustness and the efficiency of the proposed NBP method.
4. Conclusion
In this paper, we have proposed a new IRS system. This system used a new feature extraction method NBP.
The NBP method extracts the relative connection between neighbors of pixels. Each neighbor of each pixel is
thresholded by the next neighbor and encoded.After that, the NBP image is decomposed into several blocks.
The mean of each block is calculated. Then, the variations of the meanare encoded. The resulted binary matrix
is used as a feature descriptor of the iris. In the experimentation, the CASIA iris database is used. Good
performance has been obtained for the proposed IRS. We can summarize that the proposed NBP method is
interesting since it gets the relative relevant information between the neighbors of pixels.In future works, we
will study the combination of the NBP method with other approaches like Gabor transform.
