    Iris recognition is a biometric technique that uses patterns in the iris to identify individuals. The iris begins as a ring around the pupil and remains stable throughout one's life. An iris scan involves capturing an image of the eye, locating the iris and pupil, and encoding the iris pattern into a code used for matching. Iris recognition allows for non-contact identification that is fast, unique, and accurate. While the iris provides strong biometric identification, iris scanning systems can be expensive and users may be uncomfortable with the process.

    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
    1. Iris patterns printed on contact lens Countermeasure: 2D Fourier Transform

    Attacks cont

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

    Attacks cont

    Picture of an iris Countermeasure: Liveness test ( on command eye movement, pupillary light reflex , red eye effect, light absorption properties of living tissue, hippus etc.,)

    RED EYE EFFECT

    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
