Ethnicity Prediction Based on Iris Texture Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines the possibility of predicting ethnicity based on iris texture. This is possible if there are similarities of the iris texture of a certain ethnicity, and these similarities differ from ethnicity to ethnicity. This sort of “soft biometric” prediction could be used, for example, to narrow the search of an enrollment database for a match to probe sample. Using an iris image dataset representing 120 persons and 10-fold person-disjoint cross validation, we obtain 91% correct Asian / Caucasian ethnicity classification.

Gender Classification from Iris Images Using Fusion of Uniform Local Binary Patterns
This paper is concerned in analyzing iris texture in order to determine “soft biometric”, attributes of a person, rather than identity. In particular, this paper is concerned with predicting the gender of a person based on analysis of features of the iris texture. Previous researchers have explored various approaches for predicting the gender of a person based on iris texture. We explore using ...
متن کاملIRIS Recognition Method Using Random Texture Analysis
In this paper, we present a fast, simple and very powerful method for identifying human beings based on features of their iris texture. A very simple approach is presented to extract texture features of highly random iris texture on the contrary to current approaches that use complex mathematical description of the iris texture for feature extraction. The proposed method is tested with more tha...
متن کاملAn Implementation of Local Feature-based Iris Recognition
A recent emphasis on security has resulted in increased research attention being offered to the field of individual identification based on “biometrics”. A biometric feature is an inherent physical or behavioural trait that is unique among individuals. Easily acquired biometric features include fingerprints, gait, facial features, and voice. In addition to these, the human iris can also be cons...
متن کاملAutomatic classification of Non-alcoholic fatty liver using texture features from ultrasound images
Background: Accurate and early detection of non-alcoholic fatty liver, which is a major cause of chronic diseases is very important and is vital to prevent the complications associated with this disease. Ultrasound of the liver is the most common and widely performed method of diagnosing fatty liver. However, due to the low quality of ultrasound images, the need for an automatic and intelligent...
متن کاملGlobal Texture Analysis of Iris Images for Ethnic Classification
Iris pattern is commonly regarded as a kind of phenotypic feature without relation to the genes. In this paper, we propose a novel ethnic classification method based on the global texture information of iris images. So we would argue that iris texture is race related, and its genetic information is illustrated in coarse scale texture features, rather than preserved in the minute local features ...
