Abstract

This paper proposes an iris pattern recognition algorithm as one of biometric techniques applied to identify a person using his/her physiological characteristics. Since the iris pattern of human eye has an unique and invariant texture, we can use it as a biometric key. First, we obtain the feature vector from the fuzzy LDA after performing 2D Gabor wavelet transform. And then, we compute the similarity measure based on the correlation. Here, since we use four matching values obtained from four different directional Gabor wavelets and select the maximum value among them, it is possible to reduce the recognition error. To show the usefulness of the proposed algorithm, we applied it to an iris database consisting of 300 iris patterns extracted from 50 subjects and finally got more higher than 90% recognition rate.
