Abstract

Biometric identification is getting more and more popular as the demand of security increases. Iris is a promising biometric because of its stability and uniqueness. In this paper, a novel iris analysis method is proposed by using Affinity Propagation (AP) Algorithm. AP algorithm is a new clustering method by transforming the input matrix of similarity between pairs of data points. The proposed method is evaluated using the Chinese Academy of Sciences-Institute of Automation (CASIA) iris image database, the similarity between two irises is measured by their negative Hamming Distance. Experiments indicate that the algorithm has excellent solution in iris analysis, when AP algorithm is used as preprocess in an iris identification system, it can greatly decrease the time complexity of iris recognition.
