Classifier combination is an effective method to improve the recognition accuracy of a biometric system. It has been applied to many practical biometric systems and achieved excellent performance. However, there is little literature involving theoretical analysis on the effectiveness of classifier combination. In this paper, we investigate classifiers combined with the max and min rules. In particular, we compute the recognition performance of each combined classifier, and illustrate the condition in which the combined classifier outperforms the original unimodal classifier. We focus our study on personal verification, where the input pattern is classified into one of two categories, the genuine or the impostor. For simplicity, we further assume that the matching score produced by the original classifier follows a normal distribution and the outputs of different classifiers are independent and identically distributed. Randomly-generated data are employed to test our conclusion. The influence of finite samples is explored at the same time. Moreover, an iris recognition system, which adopts multiple snapshots to identify a subject, is introduced as a practical application of the above discussions.

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.

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.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Iris code matching is an important stage of iris biometric systems which compares the input iris code with stored patterns of enrolled iris codes and classifies the code into one of classes so that, the claim is accepted or rejected. Several classifier based approaches are proposed by the researchers to improve the recognition accuracy. In this paper, we discuss the factors affecting an iris classifier’s performance and we propose a reliability index for iris matching techniques to quantitatively measure the extent of system reliability, based on false acceptance rate and false rejection rates using Monte Carlo Simulation. Experiments are carried out on benchmark databases such as, IITD, MMU v-2, CASIA v-4 Distance and UBIRIS v.2.</p>

In this paper, a new approach based on score level fusion is presented to obtain a robust recognition system by concatenating face and iris scores of several standard classifiers. The proposed method concatenates face and iris match scores instead of concatenating features as in feature-level fusion. The features from face and iris are extracted using local and global feature extraction methods such as PCA, subspace LDA, spPCA, mPCA and LBP. Transformation-based score fusion and classifier-based score fusion are then involved in the process to obtain, concatenate and classify the matching scores. Different fusion techniques at matching score level, feature level and decision level are compared with the proposed method to emphasize improvement and effectiveness of the proposed method. In order to validate the proposed scheme, a combined database is formed using ORL and BANCA face databases together with CASIA and UBIRIS iris databases. The results based on recognition performance and ROC analysis demonstrate that the proposed score level fusion achieves a significant improvement over unimodal methods and other multimodal face-iris fusion methods.

Iris recognition system has gained prominent focus because of its uniqueness, stability over time. But the recognition level of single biometric based recognition systems is greatly affected by environmental conditions, physiological deficiency. Multi-biometric systems diminish this problem with the fusion of features collected from various traits or samples of the same trait, a single trait by employing multiple algorithms or multiple instances. To gain the advantages of multi-biometric systems in iris recognition, a Multi-algorithmic iris recognition system has been proposed where Texture features from iris are extracted by using 2D-Log Gabor filter and Phase features are extracted by Haar Wavelet; And these features can be integrated at various levels like Decision, Rank, Score, feature, and pixel. Even though the feature level fusion contains rich information about biometric samples when compared to remaining fusion levels; it involves mapping complexity, high dimensional feature space. To gain advantage of feature level fusion in iris recognition and to overcome the problem of resulted high dimensional feature space, Genetic Algorithm (GA) based reduction scheme, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) reduction strategy and a hybrid reduction scheme which is a combination of PCA and GA have been applied to reduce the resulted feature space. The performance of these reduction strategies have evaluated on CASIA iris database, IIT Delhi iris database using Machine Learning approaches. The results have shown that the feature space has dramatically reduced while keeping recognition accuracy and also revealed that space and time requirements have significantly decreased after employing feature reduction schemes.


Biometric Systems are well-known security systems that can be used anywhere for authentication, authorization or any kind of security verifications. In biometric systems, the samples are trained first and then it can be used for testing in long runs. Many recent researches have shown that a biometric system may fail or get compromised because of the aging of the biometric templates. The fact that temporal duration affects the performance of the biometric system has shattered the belief that iris does not change over lifetime. This is also possible in the case of iris. So, the main focus of this work is to analyze the effect of aging and also to propose a new system that can deal with template aging. We have proposed a new iris recognition system with an image enhancement mechanism and different feature extraction mechanisms. In this work, three different features are extracted, which are then fused to be used as one. The full system is trained on a dataset of 2500 samples for the year 2008 and testing is done in three different phases (i) No-Lapse, (ii) 1-Year Lapse and (iii) 2-Year Lapse. A portion of the ND-Iris-Template-Aging dataset [11] is used with a period of three years lapse. Results show that the performance of the hybrid classifier AHyBrK [17] is improved as compared to KNN and ANN and the effect of aging in terms of degraded performance is clear. The performance of this system is measured in terms of False Rejection Rate, Error Rate, and Accuracy. The overall performance of AHyBrK is 51.04% and 52.98% better than KNN and ANN respectively in terms of False Rejection Rate and Error Rate whereas the accuracy of this proposed system is also improved by 5.52% and 6.04% as compared to KNN and ANN respectively. This proposed system also achieved high accuracy for all the test phases.

To solve the problem of chip damage caused by the using the wrong type of vacuum nozzle during the packaging of semiconductor chips. A recognition system of vacuum nozzle based on machine vision was proposed. In this research, 29 kinds of lifting nozzles are selected as test samples. The backlight intensity of two lifting nozzle images (one strong and one weak separately) is collected at the first beginning. Then, the Blob analysis method is using to analyze the weak backlighting image. The area of the lifting nozzle and the minimum outer rectangular feature can be obtained subsequently. To identify the shape of the liftin nozzle (round or square), the area ratio is calculated. At the same time, the minimum outer rectangular of the lifting nozzle is selected as the reference rectangle. Then, construct the measurement rectangle. The 2-dimensional size of the lifting nozzle is measured as well. Meanwhile, for the strong backlight image, the average value of the grayscale which located within the minimum outer rectangle is calculated. Therefore, the color (black, white, or beige) of the nozzle can be identified. Finally, the sample data is saved to the database as the sample database. During the recognition process, the shape, color, and size of the lifting nozzle being analyzing are using as the parameter to realize the condition inquire. The experimental results show that the recognition accuracy of this method is 98.85%, and the recognition time of one nozzle is around 1 second, which meets the requirements of practical application.
