A novel method for person identification based on the fusion of iris and periocular biometrics has been proposed in this paper. The challenges for image acquisition for Near-Infrared or Visual Wavelength lights under constrained and unconstrained environments have been considered here. The proposed system is divided into image preprocessing data augmentation followed by feature learning for classification components. In image preprocessing an annular iris, the portion is segmented out from an eyeball image and then transformed into a fixed-sized image region. The parameters of iris localization have been used to extract the local periocular region. Due to different imaging environments, the images suffer from various noise artifacts which create data insufficiency and complicates the recognition task. To overcome this situation a novel method for data augmentation technique has been introduced here. For features extraction and classification tasks wellknown VGG16, ResNet50, and Inception-v3 CNN ar

This paper proposes a novel texture feature for iris recognition. The iris recognition system consists of three major components: pre-processing, feature extraction and classification. During pre-processing, iris is segmented using constrained circular Hough transform, which reduces both time and space complexity. In this work, from normalized iris image, a novel texture code matrix is generated, which is then used to obtain a co-occurrence matrix. Finally, desired texture features are computed from this cooccurrence matrix. Here, a two-class classification technique is adopted to develop a multi-class multimodal biometric system using fusion. The performance of the proposed system is tested on four standard iris image databases, namely UPOL, CASIA-Iris V3 Interval, MMU1 and IITD, which shows the efficacy of the proposed feature.
