Alignment-free indexing-first-one hashing with bloom filter integration

This paper explores the recently published works on iris template protection namely Indexing-First-One hashing. Despite the Indexing-First-One hashing offers high recognition performance with resistant against several major privacy and security attacks, it does not resolve the rotation inconsistent issues existed in conventional iris template due to head tilt/ rotation during user's eyes images acquisition. Hence, a pre-alignment step is required for the conventional IFO hashed code matching. Consequently, this increased the computational cost heavily. Hereby, we address the rotation inconsistent issue by proposing an alignment-free IFO hashing through a pre-transformation based on Bloom filter generation. The proposed pre-alignment IFO hashing shows promising recognition performance, and the pre-alignment procedure is eliminated to lower computational cost.
