Abstract

The paper proposes an efficient iris recognition algorithm, obtained through the fusion of Haar Wavelet and Circular Mellin operator. The recognition system preprocesses the captured iris image to remove the effect of holes or spot of light lying on the pupillary region which creates problem in pupil localization. The processed image is localized by detecting inner and outer boundaries from the pupil center using maximum value of the spectrum image. Then the eyelids are detected by fitting a 3^rd degree polynomial on the suitable edge segments and removing the region occluded by eyelids from the normalized iris image. The features for the iris pattern are extracted using Haar Wavelet and Circular Mellin operator. The Haar Wavelet decomposition reduces the size of feature vector while Circular Mellin operator is used for rotation and scale invariant feature extraction. The features are compared using Hamming Distance method and the fusion is done at decision level using Conjunction rule. The recognizer is found to be more robust with accuracy level more than 95%.
