Fusion of Iris and Periocular Biometrics for Cross-Sensor Identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a reliable personal identification method, iris recognition has been widely used for a large number of applications. Since a variety of iris devices produced by different vendors may be used for some large-scale applications, it is necessary to match heterogeneous iris images against the variations of sensors, illuminators, imaging distance and imaging conditions. This paper aims to improve cross-sensor iris recognition performance using a novel multi-biometrics strategy. The novelty of our solution is that both iris and periocular biometrics in heterogeneous iris images are combined through score-level information fusion for approaching the problem of iris sensor interoperability. Then the improved feature extraction method, namely Multi-Directions Ordinal Measures, is applied to encode both iris and periocular images to describe the distinctive features. The experimental results on images captured from three iris devices, including two close-range iris devices and one long-range iris device, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Periocular recognition has gained attention recently due to demands of increased robustness of face or iris in less controlled scenarios. We present a new system for eye detection based on complex symmetry filters, which has the advantage of not needing training. Also, separability of the filters allows faster detection via one-dimensional convolutions. This system is used as input to a periocu...

Periocular refers to the facial region in the vicinity of the eye, including eyelids, lashes and eyebrows. While face and irises have been extensively studied, the periocular region has emerged as a promising trait for unconstrained biometrics, following demands for increased robustness of face or iris systems. With a surprisingly high discrimination ability, this region can be easily obtained ...
