Abstract The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specifies iris biometric data
to be recorded and stored in (raw) image form (ISO/IEC 19794-6), rather than in extracted …

Face recognition has repeatedly shown its importance over the last ten years or so. Not only
is it a vividly researched area of image analysis, pattern recognition and more precisely …

A comprehensive study of the effects of lossy image compression on iris biometrics is
presented. The compression standards Jpeg (JPG), Jpeg-2000 (J2K) and Jpeg-XR (JXR) …

The impact of using different lossy compression algorithms on the matching accuracy of iris
recognition systems is investigated. In particular, we relate rate-distortion performance as …

We investigate three schemes for severe compression of iris images in order to assess what
their impact would be on recognition performance of the algorithms deployed today for …

Biometric recognition, or simply Biometrics, is a rapidly evolving field with applications
ranging from accessing one's computer to gaining entry into a country. Biometric systems …

In this paper we present the very first study on the effectiveness of the recently proposed
Better Portable Graphics (BPG) image compression algorithm in the context of iris …
