Abstract

This paper presents an effective iris recognition system for iris localization, feature extraction, and matching. By combining the shift-invariant and the multi-resolution properties from Fourier descriptor and wavelet transform, the Fourier-Wavelet features are proposed for iris recognition. A similarity measure is adopted as the matching criterion. Four wavelet filters containing Haar, Daubechies-8, Biorthogonal 3.5, and Biorthogonal 4.4 are evaluated and they all perform better than the feature of Gaussian-Hermite moments. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed features can provide promising performance for iris recognition.
