  1. Iris Recognition BIOM 426: Biometrics Systems Instructor: Natalia Schmid March 10, 2004

  2. Outline • Anatomy • Iris Recognition System • Image Processing (John Daugman) - iris localization - encoding • Measure of Performance • Results • Other Algorithms • Pros and Cons • Ongoing Work at WVU • References March 10, 2004

  3. Anatomy of the Human Eye • Eye = Camera • Cornea bends, refracts, and focuses light. • Retina = Film for image projection (converts image into electrical signals). • Optical nerve transmits signals to the brain. March 10, 2004

  4. Structure of Iris • Iris = Aperture • Different types of muscles: • - the sphincter muscle (constriction) • - radial muscles (dilation) • Iris is flat • Color: pigment cells called melanin • The color texture, and patterns are unique. March 10, 2004

  5. Individuality of Iris Left and right eye irises have distinctive pattern. March 10, 2004

  6. Iris Recognition System March 10, 2004

  7. Iris Imaging • Distance up to 1 meter • Near-infrared camera • Mirrow March 10, 2004

  10. Image Processing • John Daugman (1994) • Pupil detection: circular edge detector • Segmenting sclera March 10, 2004

  11. Rubbersheet Model Each pixel (x,y) is mapped into polar pair (r, ). Circular band is divided into 8 subbands of equal thickness for a given angle . Subbands are sampled uniformly in and in r. Sampling = averaging over a patch of pixels. March 10, 2004

  12. Encoding 2-D Gabor filter in polar coordinates: March 10, 2004

  13. IrisCode Formation Intensity is left out of consideration. Only sign (phase) is of importance. 256 bytes 2,048 bits March 10, 2004

  14. Measure of Performance • Off-line and on-line modes of operation. Hamming distance: standard measure for comparison of binary strings. x and y are two IrisCodes is the notation for exclusive OR (XOR) Counts bits that disagree. March 10, 2004

  15. Observations • Two IrisCodes from the same eye form genuine pair => genuine Hamming distance. • Two IrisCodes from two different eyes form imposter pair => imposter Hamming distance. • Bits in IrisCodes are correlated (both for genuine pair and for imposter pair). • The correlation between IrisCodes from the same eye is stronger. Strong radial dependancies Some angular dependencies March 10, 2004

  16. Observations Read J. Daugman’s statement with caution. Interpret correctly. The fact that this distribution is uniform indicates that different irises do not systematically share any common structure. For example, if most irises had a furrow or crypt in the 12-o'clock position, then the plot shown here would not be flat. URL: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/jgd1000/independence.html March 10, 2004

  17. Degrees of Freedom Imposter matching score: - normalized histogram - approximation curve - Binomial with 249 degrees of freedom Interpretation: Given a large number of imposter pairs. The average number of distinctive bits is equal to 249. March 10, 2004

  18. Histograms of Matching Scores Decidability Index d-prime: d-prime = 11.36 The cross-over point is 0.342 Compute FMR and FRR for every threshold value. March 10, 2004

  19. Decision The same eye distributions depend strongly on the quality of imaging. Non-ideal conditions: - motion blur - focus - noise - pose variation - illumination March 10, 2004

  20. Decision Ideal conditions: Imaging quality determines how much the same iris distribution evolves and migrates leftwards. d-prime for ideal imaging: d-prime = 14.1 d-prime for non-ideal imaging (previous slide): d-prime = 7.3 March 10, 2004

  21. Error Probabilities Biometrics: Personal Identification in Networked Society, p. 115 March 10, 2004

  22. False Accept Rate For large database search: - FMR is used in verification - FAR is used in identification Adaptive threshold: to keep FAR fixed: March 10, 2004

  23. Test Results The results of tests published in the period from 1996 to 2003. Be cautious about reading these numbers: The middle column shows the number of imposter pairs tested (not the number of individuals per dataset). http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/jgd1000/iristests.pdf March 10, 2004

  24. Performance Comparison UK National Physical Laboratory test report, 2001. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/jgd1000/NPLsummary.gif March 10, 2004

  25. Performance Comparison Best-of-3 error rates UK National Physical Laboratory test report, 2001. March 10, 2004
