Automated Biometrics

Abstract

Iris is an information density object, which is suitable for personal identification. In this chapter, we first give some definitions and notations for iris recognition. In Section 8.2, some current iris systems, including Daugman’s approaches and others, are reviewed. Then, two novel methods, coordination system to solve head tilting problem and texture energy, are developed in Section 8.3 and 8.4, respectively. Their experimental results are shown in Section 8.5.
