Iris recognition using LVQ neural network

초록

In this paper, we discuss human iris recognition, which is based on iris localization, feature extraction, and classification. The features for iris recognition are extracted from the segmented iris pattern using two-dimensional (2-D) wavelet transform based on Haar wavelet. We present an efficient initialization method of the weight vectors and a new method to determine the winner in LVQ neural network. The proposed methods have more accuracy than the conventional techniques. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
