Iris recognition system in smartphones using light version (LV) recognition algorithm

In this paper, we propose a light version (LV) algorithm that can recognize iris images in smartphones. The contribution is threefold. Firstly, we modified and re-designed the iris recognition algorithm that is capable of working in smartphone environment. Secondly, the modified algorithm is then extended in such a way that the best optimized solution can be found for authentication or verification process using smartphones. Lastly, we make use of a challenging and updated dataset CASIA-IrisV4. The final results show that the LV recognition algorithm in smartphones yields better results in terms of response time, computing time and CPU usage.
