Abstract
This study examines the application of infant iris biometrics as a method of identification for newborns and young children. Infant iris photos were collected using an IriShield-USB BK 2121U camera at a variety of locations, including public clinics and preschools. Before image segmentation, the quality of acquired images was evaluated. Subsequently, the traits were retrieved and matched online and the matching results were good enough to distinguish between minors two years old and older. However, the system did not show adequate recognition performance for infants under the age of two years. This approach can be used successfully to track the stability of iris traits from conception to death, as well as to identify minors from birth.
本研究探讨了婴儿虹膜生物识别技术作为新生儿和幼儿识别方法的应用。使用IriShield-USB BK 2121U相机在不同地点(包括公共诊所和幼儿园)收集婴儿虹膜照片。在图像分割之前,对获取的图像质量进行评价。随后,对这些性状进行检索和在线匹配,匹配结果足以区分两岁以上的未成年人。然而,该系统对两岁以下的婴儿没有表现出足够的识别性能。这种方法可以成功地用于跟踪虹膜特征从受孕到死亡的稳定性,以及从出生开始识别未成年人。
