Clever use of Meyer wavelet for iris recognition

Abstract

An iris recognition requires parametric modeling texture. The extracted model should characterize the individual corresponding to considered iris. Such a model is often referred to as biometric signature. Several approaches to uniquely specify an iris by extracting parameters characteristic of its texture exist in the literature. An original approach based on an analysis by the Meyer wavelet of the iris texture is detailed in this paper. A comparative study between our approach and some techniques that have been studied, implemented and tested in subsequent work is carried out on the CASIA V.1 database. The experimental results show that the proposed method has promising performances.
