Why Iris Recognition?


Iris patterns are unique. Iris patterns do not change with age. Non Contact approach. Simplicity and ease of implementation. Speed the process of matching the iris patterns is very fast.

Technique
Step 1: Capturing the image of the eye using a camera. Step 2: Differentiating the outline of the iris and the sclera, and the pupil from the iris.
sclera

iris
pupil

Step 3: Encoding the image using demodulation (also removes reflections, intrusion of eye lid lashes, contact lens outline etc.,). Code is 256 bytes.

Iris pattern - Comparison


Test of Statistical Independence Compare the iris codes (256*8=2048 bits) of the eyes using the following formula

[Code A (XOR) Code B] AND Mask A AND Mask B H.D = Mask A AND Mask B

This is called Hamming Distance (H.D).

Speed Performance

On a 300 MHz workstation, the execution times for the steps in iris recognition are listed below,

Operation Time Image focus 15 millisec Scrub specular reflections 56 millisec Localize eye and iris 90 millisec Fit pupillary boundary 12 millisec Detect both eyelids 93 millisec Remove lashes and contact lens edges 78 millisec Demodulation and IrisCode creation 102 millisec XOR comparison of two IrisCodes 10 micro sec

100,000 comparisons can be performed in a second.

Attacks cont

Digital Replay attack Countermeasure: Encryption of iris code, database security. Example: Iridian Technologies has established 3DES Encryption as the standard.

Attacks cont

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IRIS RECOGNITION SYSTEM

The Process and Analysis Unit

Each image is given to the P&A Unit for recognition: 1. Splits the colored image and tests the morphology 2. Transforms the image in a 3D image 3. Transforms the image in the frequencies domain 4. Transforms the image in a multidimensional objects, then the algorithm executes the last analysis to recognize a person

The Largest National Deployment

Iris recognition border-crossing system in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)

Advantages of the Iris for Identification


Highly protected, internal organ of the eye Externally visible, patterns imaged from a distance Iris patterns possess a high degree of randomness Patterns apparently stable throughout life Encoding and decision-making are tractable

Disadvantages of the Iris for Identification


Small target to acquire from a distance Moving targetwithin anotheron yet another Located behind a curved, wet, reflecting surface Obscured by eyelashes, lenses, reflections Illumination should not be visible or bright
