Iris recognition is one of the important authentication mechanism used extensively in biometric applications. The majority of the applications use single class iris recognition with normalized iris image. The proposed technique uses multi class iris recognition with region of interest (ROI) iris image on supervised learning. In this paper, the term ROI is referred as Un-normalized iris. The iris features are extracted using gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and a multiclass training vector is created. Further, iris image is classified based on fuzzy K-nearest neighbor (FKNN) and KNN classification. Test samples features are matched with the stored repository by various matching techniques such as max fuzzy vote, Euclidean distance, cosine and cityblock. The experiment is carried on standard database CASIA-IrisV3-Interval and result shows that multiclass approach with ROI segmented iris has better recognition accuracy using FKNN and KNN.
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.
