An alternative approach to iris recognition technology exploiting intensity parameters as well as dimensional characteristics of pupil and iris

In present day world when identity circumferences many social, personal, professional outlooks, the identification of identity is highly critical. In pursuit of the same if we consider biological identity of person as a resource to identify his identity, we are approaching towards a new arena of a metric system call biometric system which enables us for automatic identification of an individual based on a unique feature or characteristic biologically possessed by the individual. Iris recognition is one of the celebrated technologies which are frequently finding its way into human life. Iris recognition encloses segmentation, feature detection and feature encoding. This paper explores pupil segmentation as subpart of segmentation process which MATLAB software version 2010b as the novel method to improve feature extraction.
