Abstract:
Iris Recognition is a highly efficient biometric identification system with great possibilities for future in the
security systems area.Its robustness and unobtrusiveness, as opposed tomost of the currently deployed
systems, make it a good candidate to replace most of thesecurity systems around. By making use of the
distinctiveness of iris patterns, iris recognition systems obtain a unique mapping for each person.
Identification of this person is possible by applying appropriate matching algorithm.In this paper,
Daugman’s Rubber Sheet model is employed for irisnormalization and unwrapping, descriptive statistical
analysis of different feature detection operators is performed, features extracted is encoded using Haar
wavelets and for classification hammingdistance as a matching algorithm is used. The system was tested on
the UBIRIS database. The edge detection algorithm, Canny, is found to be the best one to extract most of
the iris texture. The success rate of feature detection using canny is 81%, False Accept Rate is 9% and
False Reject Rate is 10%.

Abstract:
Biometrics has become important in security applications. In comparison with many other
biometric features, iris recognition has very high recognition accuracy because it depends on
iris which is located in a place that still stable throughout human life and the probability to find
two identical iris's is close to zero. The identification system consists of several stages including
segmentation stage which is the most serious and critical one. The current segmentation
methods still have limitation in localizing the iris due to circular shape consideration of the
pupil. In this research, Daugman method is done to investigate the segmentation techniques.
Eyelid detection is another step that has been included in this study as a part of segmentation
stage to localize the iris accurately and remove unwanted area that might be included. The
obtained iris region is encoded using haar wavelets to construct the iris code, which contains
the most discriminating feature in the iris pattern. Hamming distance is used for comparison of
iris templates in the recognition stage. The dataset which is used for the study is UBIRIS
database. A comparative study of different edge detector operator is performed. It is observed
that canny operator is best suited to extract most of the edges to generate the iris code for
comparison. Recognition rate of 89% and rejection rate of 95% is achieved
