Iris Recognition Based on Adaptive Gabor Filter

Aiming at the problem of multi-category iris recognition, there proposes a method of iris recognition algorithm based on adaptive Gabor filter. Use DE-PSO to adaptive optimize the Gabor filter parameters. DE-PSO is composed of particle swarm optimization and differential evolution algorithm. Use 16 groups of 2D-Gabor filters with different frequencies and directions to process iris images. According to the direction and frequency of maximum response amplitude, transform iris features into 512-bit binary feature encoding. Calculate the Hamming distance of feature code and compare with the classification threshold, determine iris the type of iris. Experiment on a variety of iris databases with multiple Gabor filter algorithms, the results showed that this algorithm has higher recognition rate, the ROC curve is closer to the coordinate axis and the robustness is better, compare with other Gabor filter algorithm.
