In this paper, we proposed a method for selecting edgetype features for iris recognition. The AdaBoost algorithm is used to select a filter bank from a pile of filter candidates. The decisions of the weak classifiers associated with the filter bank are linearly combined to form a strong classifier. Real experiments have been conducted to assess the performance of the designed strong classifier. The results showed that the boosting algorithm can effectively improve the recognition accuracy at the cost of slightly increase the computation time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
