scholarly journals EAgeBioS: Enhanced Biometric System to handle the Effects of Template Aging

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.

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.

The chapter is so articulated: the first section will tackle the state of art of the attention theory, with the third paragraph related to the computational models that implement the attention theories, with a particular focus on the model that is the basis for the proposed biometric systems. Such an algorithm will be used for describing the first biometric system. The following section will tackle the people recognition algorithms carried out by evaluating the FOAs distribution. In detail, two different systems are proposed: 1) a face recognition system that takes into account both the behavioral and morphological aspects, and 2) a pure behavioral biometric system that recognizes people according to their actions evaluated by a careful analysis of the extracted FOAs.

A biometric system can be regarded as a pattern recognition system. In this chapter, we discuss two advanced pattern recognition technologies for biometric recognition, biometric data discrimination and multi-biometrics, to enhance the recognition performance of biometric systems. In Section 1.1, we discuss the necessity, importance, and applications of biometric recognition technology. A brief introduction of main biometric recognition technologies are presented in Section 1.2. In Section 1.3, we describe two advanced biometric recognition technologies, biometric data discrimination and multi-biometric technologies. Section 1.4 outlines the history of related work and highlights the content of each chapter of this book.

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.

With the prominent needs for security and reliable mode of identification in biometric system. Iris recognition has become reliable method for personal identification nowadays. The system has been used for years in many commercial and government applications that allow access control in places such as office, laboratory, armoury, automated teller machines (ATMs), and border control in airport. The aim of the paper is to review iris recognition algorithms. Iris recognition system consists of four main stages which are segmentation, normalization, feature extraction and matching. Based on the findings, the Hough transform, rubber sheet model, wavelet, Gabor filter, and hamming distance are the most common used algorithms in iris recognition stages.  This shows that, the algorithms have the potential and capability to enhanced iris recognition system.

Personal identification from the iris images acquired under less-constrained imaging environment is highly challenging. Such environment requires the development of efficient iris segmentation approach and recognition strategy which can exploit multiple features available for the potential identification. So, along with the iris features periocular features have increasing attention in biometrics technology. For the recognition purpose iris and periocular information are collected from both the eyes of same person simultaneously. The term periocular refers to the facial region in the immediate vicinity of the eye. Acquisition of image for periocular biometric is expected to require less subject cooperation. In this chapter, a dual iris based multimodal biometric system that increases the performance and accuracy of the typical iris recognition system is proposed.

For an ordinary individual biometric systems and technology, such as fingerprint recognition, palm recognition, face recognition or iris recognition, or late detection from a single object has crippled so that they have the characteristics of unity and limitations, this paper combining fingerprint and hand palm pattern recognition technology, taking into account the complexity of the image pattern and diversity, we propose a dual recognition algorithm, which greatly makes up for lack of a single fingerprint or palm print recognition method. The technology used in library management system than traditional card-borrowed books have higher efficiency and save manpower and material resources. After the experimental statistics, and achieved the desired results, not only improve the recognition efficiency, but also to ensure the accuracy of the recognition performance.
