Recent studies have demonstrated that the soft lens wearing during iris recognition has indicated the increase of false reject rate. It denies the strong belief that the soft lens wearing will cause no performance degradation. Therefore, it is a necessity for an iris recognition system to be able to detect the presence of soft lens prior to iris recognition. As a first step towards soft lens detection, this study proposed a method for segmenting the soft lens boundary in iris images. However, segmenting the soft lens boundary is a very challenging task due to its marginal contrast. Besides, the flash lighting effect during the iris image enrolment has caused the image to suffer from inconsistent illumination. In addition, the visibility condition of the soft lens boundary may be discerned as a bright or dark ridge as a result of the flash lighting. Three image enhancement techniques were therefore proposed in order to enhance the contrast of the soft lens boundary and to provide an even distribution of intensities across the image. A method called summed-histogram has been incorporated as a solution to classify the visibility condition of the soft lens boundary automatically. The visibility condition of the ridge is used to determine the directional directive magnitude by the ridge detection algorithm. The proposed method was evaluated with Notre Dame Contact Lens Detection 2013 database. Results showed that the proposed method has successfully segment the soft lens boundary with an accuracy of over 92%.

<span lang="EN-GB">A biometric system of identification and authentication provides automatic recognition of an individual based on certain unique features or characteristic possessed by an individual. Iris recognition is a biometric identification method that uses pattern recognition on the images of the iris. Owing to the unique epigenetic patterns of the iris, Iris recognition is considered as one of the most accurate methods in the field of biometric identification. One of the crucial steps in the iris recognition system is the iris segmentation because it significantly affects the accuracy of the feature extraction the iris. The segmentation algorithm proposed in this article starts with determining the regions of the eye using unsupervised neural approach, after the outline of the eye is found using the Canny edge, The Hough Transform is employed to determine the </span><span lang="EN-US">center</span><span lang="EN-GB"> and radius of the pupil and the iris.</span>

Individual identification process is a very significant process that resides a large portion of day by day usages. Identification process is appropriate in work place, private zones, banks …etc. Individuals are rich subject having many characteristics that can be used for recognition purpose such as finger vein, iris, face …etc. Finger vein and iris key-points are considered as one of the most talented biometric authentication techniques for its security and convenience. SIFT is new and talented technique for pattern recognition. However, some shortages exist in many related techniques, such as difficulty of feature loss, feature key extraction, and noise point introduction. In this manuscript a new technique named SIFT-based iris and SIFT-based finger vein identification with normalization and enhancement is proposed for achieving better performance. In evaluation with other SIFT-based iris or SIFT-based finger vein recognition algorithms, the suggested technique can overcome the difficulties of tremendous key-point extraction and exclude the noise points without feature loss. Experimental results demonstrate that the normalization and improvement steps are critical for SIFT-based recognition for iris and finger vein , and the proposed technique can accomplish satisfactory recognition performance. Keywords: SIFT, Iris Recognition, Finger Vein identification and Biometric Systems.   © 2018 JASET, International Scholars and Researchers Association

In the modern world, human recognition systems play an important role to   improve security by reducing chances of evasion. Human ear is used for person identification .In the Empirical study on research on human ear, 10000 images are taken to find the uniqueness of the ear. Ear based system is one of the few biometric systems which can provides stable characteristics over the age. In this paper, ear images are taken from mathematical analysis of images (AMI) ear data base and the analysis is done on ear pattern recognition based on the Expectation maximization algorithm and k means algorithm.  Pattern of ears affected with different types of noises are recognized based on Principle component analysis (PCA) algorithm.

AbstractIn this paper, we attempt to answer the questions whether iris recognition task under the influence of diabetes would be more difficult and whether the effects of diabetes and individuals’ age are uncorrelated. We hypothesized that the health condition of volunteers plays an important role in the performance of the iris recognition system. To confirm the obtained results, we reported the distribution of usable area in each subgroup to have a more comprehensive analysis of diabetes effects. There is no conducted study to investigate for which age group (young or old) the diabetes effect is more acute on the biometric results. For this purpose, we created a new database containing 1,906 samples from 509 eyes. We applied the weighted adaptive Hough ellipsopolar transform technique and contrast-adjusted Hough transform for segmentation of iris texture, along with three different encoding algorithms. To test the hypothesis related to physiological aging effect, Welches’s t-test and Kolmogorov–Smirnov test have been used to study the age-dependency of diabetes mellitus influence on the reliability of our chosen iris recognition system. Our results give some general hints related to age effect on performance of biometric systems for people with diabetes.
