A Review on Iris Recognition in Non-Cooperative Environment

Nowadays, researcher is focus in developing reliable iris recognition systems for non-cooperative situations. The demand for iris recognition is increasing due to its reliability, accuracy and uniqueness. There are major factors involved in unconstrained environment such as obstruction by eyelids, eyelashes, glass frames, hair, off-angle, presence of contact lenses, poor illumination, motion blur, lighting and specular reflections, partially eye image, etc. The performance of the iris will be deteriorated and this results in lower recognition rate. In this paper, an overview of iris recognition for noisy imaging environments is presented included various related databases for iris recognition systems.
