Recent studies have shown that the wearing of soft lens may lead to performance degradation with the increase of false reject rate. However, detecting the presence of soft lens is a non-trivial task as its texture that almost indiscernible. In this work, we proposed a classification method to identify the existence of soft lens in iris image. Our proposed method starts with segmenting the lens boundary on top of the sclera region. Then, the segmented boundary is used as features and extracted by local descriptors. These features are then trained and classified using Support Vector Machines. This method was tested on Notre Dame Cosmetic Contact Lens 2013 database. Experiment showed that the proposed method performed better than state of the art methods.

This paper proposes a novel fingerprint classification method using multiple decision templates of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) with adaptive features. In order to overcome intra-class and inter-class ambiguities of fingerprints, the proposed method extracts a feature vector from an adaptively detected feature region and classifies the feature vector using SVMs. The outputs of the SVMs are then combined by multiple decision templates that make several per class. Experimental results on NIST4 fingerprint database revealed the effectiveness and validity of the proposed method for fingerprint classification.

Texture analysis has been a field of study for over three decades in many fields including electrical engineering. Today, texture analysis plays a crucial role in many tasks ranging from remote sensing to medical imaging. Researchers in this field have dealt with many different approaches, all trying to achieve the goal of high classification accuracy. The main difficulty of texture analysis was the lack of ability of the tools to characterize adequately different scales of the textures effectively. The development in multi-resolution analysis such as Gabor and Wavelet Transform help to overcome this difficulty. This thesis describes the texture classification algorithm that uses the combination of statistical features and co-occurrence features of the Discrete Wavelet Transformed images. The classification accuracy is increased by using translation-invariant features generated from the Discrete Wavelet Frame Transform. The results are further improved by focussing on the transformed images used for feature extraction by using filters which essentially extract those areas of the image that discriminate themselves from other image classes. In effect, by reducing the spatial characteristics of images that contribute to the features, the texture classification method still has the ability to preserve the classification accuracy. Support Vector Machines has proved excellent performance in the area of pattern recognition problems. We have applied SVMs with the texture classification method described above and, when compared to traditional classifiers, SVM has produced more accurate classification results on the Brodatz texture album.
