Fusion of Near Infrared Face and Iris Biometrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a method for fusing face and iris biometrics using single near infrared (NIR) image. Fusion of NIR face and iris modalities is a natural way of doing multi-model biometrics because they can be acquired in a single image. An NIR face image is taken using a high resolution NIR camera. Face and iris are segmented from the same NIR image. Face and iris features are then extracted from the segmented parts. Matching of face and iris is done using the respective features. The matching scores are fused using various rules. Experiments give promising results.

Near-infrared and visible-light periocular recognition with Gabor features using frequency-adaptive automatic eye detection
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...
