Description:

The paper proposes a new iris coding method based on Zak-Gabor wavelet packet transform. The essential component of the iris recognition methodology design is an effective adaptation of the transformation parameters that makes the coding sensitive to the frequencies characterizing ones eye. We thus propose to calculate the between-to-within class ratio of weakly correlated Zak-Gabor transformation coefficients allowing for selection the frequencies the most suitable for iris recognition. The Zak-Gabor-based coding is non-reversible, i.e., it is impossible to reconstruct the original iris image given the iris template. Additionally, the inference about the iris image properties from the Zak-Gabor-based code is limited, providing a possibility to embed the biometric replay attack prevention methodology into the coding. We present the final prototype system design, including the hardware, and evaluate its performance using the database of 720 iris images.
