IRIS RECOGNITION
The latest threats of security have led to the increased awareness of biometric technologies. Iris recognition is one of the most secure
biometric approach as it is non-invasive and stable throughout
life. Moreover, it does not require physical contact with the camera. In this way, the hygienic issue is minimized. Generally, there are four major processes for a particular iris recognition system. They are image acquisition, iris-preprocessing, feature extraction and matching.
MMU1 iris database contributes a total number of 450 iris images which were taken using LG IrisAccess®2200. This camera is semi-automated and it operates at the range of 7-25 cm. On the other hand, MMU2 iris database consists of 995 iris images. The iris images are collected using Panasonic BM-ET100US Authenticam and its operating range is even farther with a distance of 47-53 cm away from the user. These iris images are contributed by 100 volunteers with different age and nationality. They come from Asia, Middle East, Africa and Europe. Each of them contributes 5 iris images for each eye. There are 5 left eye iris images which are excluded from the database due to cataract disease.
