Biometrics technology

Biometrics refers to technologies that measure and analyze human physical and behavioural characteristics Examples of characteristics include fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, facial patterns and hand measurements Two main application:
Verification (mobile banking) Identification (security control)

Scope of the thesis

The thesis was restricted to experiments in MATLAB only Adapt Libor Maseks open source code for the experiments (different filters, inter-class and intra-class comparisions) The iris images degradations are simulated in MATLAB with different parameters (to find the best filter under different conditions)

Implementation

Expanded Libor Maseks open source code for iris recognition with four filters
Log-Gabor filter (9600 bit, original filter) 702-bit Haar wavelet filter 87-bit Haar wavelet filter Log of Gaussian filter (9600 bit)

Expanded the search function with inter-class and intra-class comparisons

Iris database

The filters are tested on 500 images from the UBiris database. Five images per person for 100 persons.

The images are simulated with different paramenters

Add noise in the image database (Gaussian noise) Add blur in the image database Change the light intensity in the image database Rotate the images in the database

Evaluation

For each filter under different conditions, the False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR) are computed Inter-class comparisons (to experiment with FAR). For each test 123,750 comparisons are done Intra-class comparisons (to experiment with FRR). For each test 1000 comparisons are done Totally 6,930,000 inter-class and 56,000 intra-class comparisons are performed.
