Pupil dilation degrades iris biometric performance

K Hollingsworth, KW Bowyer, PJ Flynn - Computer vision and image …, 2009 - Elsevier
Iris biometrics research has largely ignored the problems associated with variations in pupil
dilation between the enrollment image and the image to be recognized or verified. Indeed, in …

Factors that degrade the match distribution in iris biometrics

KW Bowyer, SE Baker, A Hentz, K Hollingsworth… - Identity in the …, 2009 - Springer
We consider three “accepted truths” about iris biometrics, involving pupil dilation, contact
lenses and template aging. We also consider a relatively ignored issue that may arise in …

Iris recognition using signal-level fusion of frames from video

K Hollingsworth, T Peters, KW Bowyer… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We take advantage of the temporal continuity in an iris video to improve matching
performance using signal-level fusion. From multiple frames of a frontal iris video, we create …

Empirical evidence for correct iris match score degradation with increased time-lapse between gallery and probe matches

SE Baker, KW Bowyer, PJ Flynn - … , ICB 2009, Alghero, Italy, June 2-5 …, 2009 - Springer
We explore the effects of time lapse on iris biometrics using a data set of images with four
years time lapse between the earliest and most recent images of an iris (13 subjects, 26 …

SLIC: Short-length iris codes

JE Gentile, N Ratha, J Connell - 2009 IEEE 3rd International …, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The texture in a human iris has been shown to have good individual distinctiveness and thus
is suitable for use in reliable identification. A conventional iris recognition system unwraps …

Image averaging for improved iris recognition

KP Hollingsworth, KW Bowyer, PJ Flynn - … , ICB 2009, Alghero, Italy, June 2 …, 2009 - Springer
We take advantage of the temporal continuity in an iris video to improve matching
performance using signal-level fusion. From multiple frames of an iris video, we create a …

Using fragile bit coincidence to improve iris recognition

KP Hollingsworth, KW Bowyer… - 2009 IEEE 3rd …, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The most common iris biometric algorithm represents the texture of an iris using a binary iris
code. Not all bits in an iris code are of equal value. A bit is deemed fragile if it varies in value …

[PDF][PDF] A new user dependent iris recognition system based on an area preserving pointwise level set segmentation approach

N Barzegar, MS Moin - EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal …, 2009 - Springer
This paper presents a new user dependent approach in iris recognition systems. In the
proposed method, consistent bits of iris code are calculated, based on the user …

A new method for iris recognition based on contourlet transform and non linear approximation coefficients

A Azizi, HR Pourreza - … and Applications: 5th International Conference on …, 2009 - Springer
In different methods of Biometrics, recognition by iris images in recent years has been taken
into consideration by researchers as one of the common methods of identification like …

Recent research results in iris biometrics

K Hollingsworth, S Baker, S Ring… - … and Photonics in …, 2009 - spiedigitallibrary.org
Many security applications require accurate identification of people, and research has
